&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; Are conditions 2-4 applied to the same pattern type? If so, you can use the &quot;||&quot; Field Constraint Connective instead of the &quot;or&quot; Conditional Element:<br><br>when<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Person( name&nbsp; == &quot;Bob&quot; )<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cheese( type == &quot;brie&quot; || size &gt; 2 || price &lt;= 30 )<br>then<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; ...<br>end<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; These conditions will not generate new rules as the OR CE does...<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; []s<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Edson<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

The problem is that OR (||) operators in drools are not a short circuiting operators like in Java.<br><br>May you please tell me an approach to handle this situation , i have already tried splitting it on multiple rules ,but i am searching for better approach.<br>
