Re: [rules-users] Inheritance-Like Design Question

Aha, misunderstanding. Yes you can't use activation group if you want execute more children rules. However you can use fact (Status) to avoid evaluating parent rule. My suggestion: Rule DEFAULT salience -100 if A and ! Status(done) then DEFAULT end Rule A if A and B then SOMETHINGB; update(Status(done)) end Rule B if A or B then SOMETHINGB; update(Status(done)) end Rule C if A or C then SOMETHINGC; update(Status(done)) end At beginning insert Status with e.g. "ready". It's possible to use instead of update also insert but because you can fire more children rules it will be waste of memory. Hope this help Pavel
