That would depend on the structure of the rules, and specifically on the number of object join rules in your rule base. The only way to know, truthfully, is to try both ways with typical data sets. > 3.

You must retract them from the working memory for the objects to be GC'ed. Otherwise the stateful session would maintain a reference to them. You could also just destroy the stateful session itself. That might actually be quicker. (Assuming that you're starting the stateful session from starting conditions during each batch run.) Although at that point why have a stateful session? :) It sounds to me like a stateless session might be more what you need, really. Have you tried it? _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
