Re: [rules-users] modify and update is not working in the rule file

Although you can write rule r when ... then boolean b = true; ... x .... end there is no way you can access these variables from anywhere else but the place marked with "x", i.e., inside the very same rule. To see whether certain rules have fired in a certain interval, you'll have to use some global data, either a DRL global or some other public instance. At the beginning of the interval you'll have to clear the variable, and at the end of the interval you'll have to iterate over the accumulated collection. For instance: Java code: Set<String> ruleNameSet = new HashSet<String>(); kSession.setGlobal( "ruleNameSet", ruleNameSet ); //... // Loop inserting a fact and firing all rules for(...){ ruleNameSet.clear(); kSession.insert( anotherFact ); kSession.fireAllRules(); for( String ruleName: ruleNameSet ){ //... ruleName has fired } } DRL code: global Set ruleNameSet; rule xyz when...then... ruleNameSet.add( drools.getRule().getName() ); end Alternatively, to avoid the global and the addition to all right hand sides, you can set up a listener and modify the Set<String> ruleNameSet accordingly. -W On 17/08/2012, Rana <ven12344(a)yahoo.com&gt; wrote:
