Re: [rules-users] Rule using accumulate

Thank you for your answers. I tried this approach (which yields much more elegant rules), but i'm afraid it does not perform very well. If I insert 10000 Offers and then 1 bid, it takes too much time to execute. If understand correctly it's because of the "not Offer(creationTimestamp < $ct)" clause in the LHS, which forces a comparison of every matching Offer against every other Offer. The motivation for my original post was to find a way of achieving the results of an accumulator without having to sort all the matching Offers by creationTimestamp. Going back to that first approach (using an accumulator), I found that Drools feeds the accumulator with the matching Offers in reverse order (ie, newest first, LIFO). Is this a natural consequence of the way facts are stored in the working memory or is there a way of changing this behaviour (so that oldest are feeded first, FIFO)?
