Lock-on-active was very recently the subject of a bad bug, DROOLS-281,
which has been fixed a few days ago.
This said, all rules that do not have an explicit group set end up in
the "MAIN" (or "DEFAULT", I don't remember)
agenda group and then behave accordingly.
Could you post the Drools version number and some more details on the
example and the "unexpected" behavior?
Thanks

Hi folks,
According to the user guide, lock-on-active “inhibits additional activations of all rules
with this flag set within the same rule flow or agenda group”.
I was doing a little testing of some rules earlier today, and noticed that lock-on-active
seems to change behaviour when applied to rules which don’t have an agenda-group or rules
flow-group defined. It also seemed to have a slightly inconsistent effect, although that
may just be me not realising what it’s supposed to do.
There doesn’t appear to be any documentation of what the attribute means when a rule is
not part of a rule flow or agenda group. So I was wondering whether perhaps there is an
expected/official behaviour, which is just not documented. Or is lock-on-active without a
rule flow or agenda group an error? In which case is there a reason why it doesn’t cause a
compilation error when the knowledge base is built?
Yours curiously...
Steve
