True if Rule 130 AND Rule 200 AND Rule 480 fire) has anyone had this situation before? would I need to execute this as a post-processing step? or, is there any design pattern that will allow rules to be chained, preferably in a manageable way? regards, Daniel -- View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/Chained-Rules-tp77549...
