Hans,
If you change "not NegativeResult()" to "not (exits
NegativeResult())" this should result in the expected behaviour.

How is "not" supposed to work with insertLogical? Assume I
have two
different rules whose conditions are mutually exclusive, like the
following:
rule "Rule One"
when
not NegativeResult()
then
insertLogical(new ApplicantStatus("Approved"));
end
rule "Rule Two"
when
NegativeResult()
then
insertLogical(new ApplicantStatus("Denied"));
end
Assume that the above two rules are the only way an ApplicantStatus
fact can be inserted into working memory. I would expect, after all
rules are run, that it would be impossible for there to be one
ApplicantStatus with "Approved" as its reason, and another with
"Denied" as its reason, in the working memory.
I would expect that, before any NegativeResult is inserted, that
rule one could run, and insert an ApplicantStatus fact with an
"Approved" reason. Then, after a NegativeResult is inserted, that
rule two could run, and insert an ApplicantStatus fact with a
"Denied" reason. At this point I would expect that the original
ApplicantStatus fact, with an "Approved" reason, would be retracted,
since the conditions under which it was inserted are no longer true.
This is not what I am observing, however. I am finding
ApplicantStatus facts with both reasons in working memory at the end
of the rules run. Should "not" work as I expect with regard to
inserting a fact via insertLogical()? Or is this a known limitation,
or simply the way it is designed to work?
Thanks,
