Re: [rules-users] Pattern matching

Here is the actual reason why I wanted to know the difference between those 2. rule "Remove smaller or non-overriden" dialect "java" when L : Response( $r : value && status != "override" ) (Response( value > $r ) or Response( status == "override")) then retract( L ); end The above rule performs what I intended. It retains the Response with the largest value or it the one that has an override status (if one exists) But I am getting a different behaviour for this one rule "Remove smaller or non-overriden" dialect "java" when L : Response( $r : value && status != "override" ) Response( value > $r || status == "override" ) then retract( L ); end This rule seems to retain both the objects, the overriden and the largest value Could you explain to me how they are diffrent.

Details of both are covered in the manual. Suffice to say the first is like writting if ( stmt1.attrib1 == "X" || smt1.attrib1 == "Y" ) whil the ohte results in two separate rules, one checking "X" and the other checking "Y", both rules can match and fire.
