[rules-users] Stateless Vs Stateful Sessions in Webtier

It isn't clear from the documentation and examples on the recommended usage of knowledge sessions. From Michael Bali's book, it is highly recommended to use StatelessKnowledgeSession, since it's threadsafe, but a quick look at the API shows that it doesn't support many of the features of stateful ksession. -- cannot pass agendaFilter -- cannot use agenda-group, activation-group or ruleflow-group in statelss ksession -- It looks like one cannot get Agenda from a statelss ksession and hence cannot use clear() or setFocus() ... Drools says, for rules itself, "it doesn't matter whether you use stateless or stateful ksession ..." then why is that an entire set of metadata like grouping and ordering is ignored? If statefulknowledge session isn't threadsafe, then what are the best practices and considerations for making it threadsafe? -- View this message in context: http://n3.nabble.com/Stateless-Vs-Stateful-Sessions-in-Webtier-tp130284p1...
