Re: [rules-users] Insert to non-existing entry point causing NPE in drools server?

Hmm, whelp, no, nothing empirical. I think in my head I am combining a few things I've read. In the Developers Cookbook (pg130) there is a comment that entry points can help reduce cross products and can be used to partition memory. I remember reading that the entry points are built during compile time, so I read that to mean that if I have 1000 rules, but only 1 rule with entry point "ep1" that if I insert a fact to ep1, the engine has already built the structure to only evaluate that 1 rule. I thought that was the main reasoning behind entry points :-/ You are saying that my thinking here is incorrect? So, in the manual (http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/6.0.0.Final/drools-docs/html/DroolsC...) during the banking example for entry points, there is little difference between having an "ATM Stream" and "Branch Stream" as shown and adding a "stream" attribute to the WithdrawRequest object and adding the constraint, stream=="Branch"?
