Thanks everyone for the replies.

Wolfgang, as a note - in JavaDocs the method getMetaData("attribute") is
deprecated
http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.1.1.34858.FINAL/apidocs/index.html

Does anyone-know why?

The return type String is too narrow. The intent is to make this work like Java annotations.

Hopefully - getMetaData() would be here to stay!

Looks like it. Depending on usage, it might not only return a String but also a Map, but that's not your concern.

I think the suggestion to use ID meta-data attribute on rule is the best and
most stable!!

Thanks again

Harish
