[rules-users] Update function usage for java objects to be retrieved for database update

Hello, I'm new with Drools and I'm facing a problem I don't know how to solve. I've defined several (>50 rules) each one is used to set a property of java objects I inserted in the session (stateful session since I need to update inserted facts). As a result I get the updated objects and update my database. Since rules must be fired depending of the properties set in previous rules, I made use of the update function. Since I need properties to be set, I make use of such constraint in When section : property == null I suppose that any update on inserted facts make rules be evaluated again. Thus, any update should fire again rules I know that will never be executed : property will remain null (I didn't manage easily to create excluding rules preventing such loop for all created rules). Consequently, rules are fired again and again as many times as I update the object. How can I solve my problem and get acceptable perfomance in rules processing ? Should I use update function for any property set or only for the last set property to get the updated object ?
