You could consider Agenda Groups. You could either bunch groups of rules into discrete sets or have each rule in its own Agenda Group. You would then use workingMemory.setFocus(...) before calling fireAllRules(). This is based upon 4.x and so could be different in 5 (which I haven't had time to look at fully).

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to pick up just a few rules from a drl file to create the RuleExecutionSet. Something like: rules.drl ===> ... rule "r1" ... end rule "r2" ... end ... ============= RunRules.java ===> ... List<String> rulesToRun = new ArrayList<String>(); rulesToTun.add("r1"); RuleExecutionSet ruleExecutionSet = ruleSetProvider.createRuleExecutionSet(ruleFileName, null, rulesToRun); ruleAdministrator.registerRuleExecutionSet("test.drl", ruleExecutionSet, null); ... ============= I haven't found anything like that in the documentation. I'd really like that otherwsie I'll have to split the rules through many different files, which will be a bit of a havoc to unit test... thanks in advance! best regards, -- Lucas de Oliveira Arantes
