Georgy,

one (simple) way to achieve this is to assert a "stop"-fact on the
right-hand-side
of the executing rule (e.g. by setting an appropriate attribute)  AND
querying that attribute on the LHS of every rule.

Example (pseudo-code)

rule 1
   when (business-conditions...)
        st: StopFact ( done == false )
   then
         st.setDone( true ); // make ALL other rules fail
         // all other actions...
end

IMHO this is expressive in a way that the "single-rule-only" approach
is clearly visible in all rules...

But: Don't forget to set the StopFact to "not-done" after evaluation...

regards from Cologne,
Gernot
