You probably want something like this:
Rule "multiplePeople"
p1 : Person()
not Person (age > p1.age)
not OldestPerson()
then
insert (new OldestPerson(p1))
end
The oldest person is the person for whom there isn't someone older.
If there are multiple oldest people of the same age this will pick one arbitrarily.
You may want insertLogical if your people can be updated/inserted.

Subject: [rules-users] Get maximum
Hi all,
I'm a newbie here and have a problem which seems to be quite simple, but I
just can't solve it. I have a set of peoples with the attribute age and
want to get the oldest person from these set. I would really appreciate, if
somebody tells me how can I do it with jdrools.
