This is *the* use case for "auto-focus" rule attribute with agenda-groups. Take a look at it in the manual. Edson 2010/3/11 H.C. <canterburry(a)gmail.com&gt; -- Edson Tirelli JBoss Drools Core Development JBoss by Red Hat @ www.jboss.com

OK, this is weird, can someone explain the following behavior to me please: I have two ruleflow groups (RFG1, RFG2), each rule within a ruleflow group is assigned an agenda group with the same name as its ruleflow group (just to keep namings consistent) and each rule has "auto focus true". I also have a set of rules with an agenda group of "maintenance", auto focus true and high sailence with no ruleflow group assigment When my flow starts, rules in RFG1 fire, then my maintenance rules kick in (as expected) and RFG1 is done. I then expect rules in RFG2 to start processing along with any maintenance rules again. However, rules from RFG2 are never activated even though my facts support it, they have auto focus true and they are next in the flow. If I, however, insert a dummy "always true" rule into RFG2 with the same agenda group, ruleflow and auto focus settings as all the other rules in RFG2, suddently all the expected RFG2 rules are activated and fired along with the correct maintenance rules. So, obviously this has something to do with rules in RFG2 not getting focus without the dummy rule. My presumtion was that if the facts in working memory support a rule's activation, the auto focus setting would ensure the rule being activated and eligible to fire? No? -- View this message in context: http://n3.nabble.com/high-sailence-event-utility-rules-and-ruleflows-tp44... Sent from the Drools - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
