Have been able to execute/run a sample Drools file import com.sample.Message; rule "Hello World" when m : Message( status == Message.HELLO, message : message, testStringExternal : testStringExternal ) then System.out.println( message ); m.setMessage( "Goodbye cruel world" ); System.out.println( testStringExternal + "Message.HELLO" ); m.setStatus( Message.GOODBYE ); update( m ); end Now, is it possible to change the logic dynamically at runtime ? Or is the drl file used only to externalize the business logic? I tried changing the message in drl file and it didnt get reflected Environment - RAD 6.0/jdk 1.4 Used the following set of jar files C:\Drools\libraries\drools-core.jar; C:\Drools\libraries\drools-compiler.jar; C:\Drools\libraries\mvel14.jar; C:\Drools\libraries\antlr-runtime.jar; C:\Drools\libraries\xstream.jar; C:\Drools\lib\core-3.2.3.v_686_R32x.jar;

Thanks for the response. Just to confirm when you say "...but you can remove a rule and add another in its place..." - can this be done at runtime - i.e server is running, i go add a new rule/change the output of an existing rule. If so, can i have the new rule take effect ? Also, do i need to include any specific jar file for this dynamic feature ? Am not looking at performance here - more from a maintenance/changeability point of view.

Hi, The following is the block of code that i tried RuleBase ruleBase = readRule(); WorkingMemory workingMemory = ruleBase.newStatefulSession(false); // to keep reference // Create a message object workingMemory.insert( message ); workingMemory.fireAllRules(); When i try chaning the "drl" file at run time the change doesnt get reflected. Is there anything else i need to be doing here? Any additional jar files ? To have this change take effect at runtime - do i need to create a new session for each run or do i need to retain the session - i tried both "newStatefulSession(false)" and "newStatefulSession()" - get the same result with both. Just to add on...for two successive runs, the times taken to create RuleBase object were <<<<<<<< START >>>>>>>>>>1187339950422 <<<<<<<<<< FINISH >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.1187339956100 => ~ 6 seconds <<<<<<<< START >>>>>>>>>>1187340049090 <<<<<<<<<< FINISH >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.1187340049721 => ~ .6 seconds Doesnt this mean that there is a cache that prevents the modified drl file from being parsed ?
