well our product is very mature and its been ruining drools for quite some time... so i need to change the versions to see if it give better performance and memory usage... and while i need to rewrite the rules, the results need to be the same... remember the main rule lib is about 2.4 megs but we have several other smaller rule files...so i can say we have over 3 megs of xml rules... and thats BIG... now the big question... when is the next release scheduled? we i'll be able to use the or the right way? i'm inclined to wait for next version...

Joel, In 3.0.x, you can not use inside a predicate, any other variable bound in the same pattern, besides the one that is bound to the predicate. To do that, you need to use an eval: rule "modem_warranty_menu" when megaTO:MegaTransferObject(other_EffectiveOrderTypeDsl == Constants.NEW_COMPLETED_ORDER_TYPE, at:other_IsAdaAltaTraslado, nm:orders_NewModem ) eval( nm.equals(Constants.FLAG_YES) || (nm.equals(Constants.FLAG_NO) && at.equals(Constants.FLAG_YES)) ) then menu.add(new String[]{Constants.SERVICE_ASSURANCE_TREE_MENU_DSL, Constants.SERVICE_ASSURANCE_MENU_WARRANTY}); end Seems you are doing great in pushing the limitations of drools 3.0. :) This is also a limitation that is already solved in trunk for the next release.
