Hello, I'm not a good Drools user. But i think what you can do, is to use a high value(a value that is greater than the sum of all other possible values associated with the soft constraints). By this way you will be sure that a solution with this constraint violated will not be accepted if there is another one in which the constraint is not violated. In opposite if all your solutions violate this constraint, you will have one with the less number of violation and that can be enhanced through the steps of research, which can lead finally to a feasible solution. Good luck, any way.
