I am using drools 5.4 and am running into a weird issue with using modify keyword. I have have two rules, both are similar in conditions(one rule catches 2 additional cases to modify the object with a generic message). Weather I add the checks for each rule into the into the generic rule or have a condition checking the object for the more specific messages to be added, the modify keyword seems to ignore this. In the case where the conditions are added to the generic rule independent the activation is cancelled. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the insight....I was able to figure it out with have the generic rule listen for modifications to a certain property. The problem was that the method being invoked by the other more specific rules was using a convince method to modify the field so I needed to annotate the method with the @Modifies method. laune wrote > > On 06/06/2012, gboro54 <gboro54@> wrote: >> I am using drools 5.4 and am running into a weird issue with using >> modify >> keyword.
