Don't know where to debug! Let me know if more information is needed. I am using Hibernate, Spring, BTM transaction Manager. I stumbled across "JBRULES-2718" and thought maybe this is something similar? I am using 5.1.0 Thank you! -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Ruleflow-exits-before-reaching-END-node...
