Re: [rules-users] rule with low Salience is fired too early

Actually, your "threshold" rule shouldn't fire at all in a stateless session, where everything is evaluated just once, resulting in a fixed set of activations (and, at most from these, firings). What you reported, sounds very fishy, indicating a bug - I'm not saying where ;-) Either check with the latest version of Drools, or post the minimal code showing the effect. In a stateFUL session, activations are added to the agenda as soon as they become manifest, and are removed as soon as a rule's condition fails. So, a single change could create any number of activations. Ranking within the agenda is determined by several things, salience being the major criterion. The current online version of the documentation deals with these topics in several places: http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.0.1.26597.FINAL/drools-expert/ht..., http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.0.1.26597.FINAL/drools-expert/ht... subsection "Sequential Mode"), http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.0.1.26597.FINAL/drools-expert/ht... -W On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 8:25 PM, David Boaz <davidb(a)dbmotion.com&gt; wrote:
