Re: [rules-users] Understanding agenda-group (doesn't work as documented in book or docs)

In the consequence of rule 1 you could write: drools.setFocus( "group 2" ); That will immediately place the group 2 on top of the stack and, since the rule 2 will be active, it will fire rule 2 in the sequence. Another way is, in rule 2, add the attribute: auto-focus. Whenever that rule is activated, the engine places it's group (in your example, group 2) on top of the stack, also allowing the rule to fire. Please note that for the simple example being discussed, all 3 approaches have the same effect, but for real life examples with hundreds or thousands of rules, sometimes it will be easier to use auto-focus, some times it will be easier to use drools.setFocus().
