I was wondering (hoping) that there is a way to put a rule into more than one agenda group? I've tried writing: rule "example" agenda-group "process x stuff" agenda-group "process y stuff" when (blah, blah, blah) then (blah, blah, blah) end But while the compiler has no problems with this it really only includes the rule in the last agenda-group listed.

That's not so welcome news. Our old rule engine software had this ability. We'll find a work-around, but is this being considered in a later update to Drools? My thought is that rule should be like method: you really should only need to write it once.

To: "Rules Users List" <rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Date: Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 1:20 PM Our rule engine software made by Talarian Corporation as part of their RTworks suite. The company was bought out by TIBCO several years ago, and the software is no longer supported. They essentially consigned it to the dust bin. And with a massive upgrade to our system, we had to find a rule engine alternative. The old RTworks rule engine concept of an AgendaGroup was called a "Context". You could assign a rule to as many contexts as you wanted. You just listed their names, separated by semi-colons, following the context keyword. There are always trade-offs when switching, but Drools has many more features we could only wish were present in the old software. -A ________________________________ From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Mark Proctor Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 2:06 PM To: Rules Users List Subject: Re: [rules-users] More than one agenda group for a rule?

My thought is that rule should be like method: you really should only need to write it once. no plans to add this, especially as ruleflow is the preferred way to orchestration rules so that's where our focus is these days. Which is your old rule engine that supported this? I don't believe jess or clips allow a rule to live in multiple modules - which is what AgendaGroups is based on.
