             Summary: Add options to specify the salience range of rules in a Decision Table Sheet
                 Key: DROOLS-1225
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-1225
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: decision tables
    Affects Versions: 6.4.0.Final
         Environment: any
            Reporter: Osamu Kuniyasu
            Assignee: Mario Fusco
             Fix For: 7.0.0.Final


When we set Sequential=true in RuleSet properties.
The salience of the generated rules are started from 65518 and down one by one.

When we mix several Decision Table Sheets and DRL rules in a Ruleflow-Group (Agenda-Group), We could not make these rules' salience order, because each Decision Table Sheet has fixed to start from 65518.

A (limited) workaround is to have separated Ruleflow-Groups,
But this way does not solve the situation to back to the higher priority rules as it's previous Ruleflow-Group.

To solve The request is that add two options into RuleSet properties. like,
   SequentialMaxPriority  10000
   SequentialMinPriority   1000

By this optional properties, we can control the range of the salience of rules in the Decision Table Sheet. and it is possible safely to mix multiple Decision Table Sheets in a Ruleflow-Group.

The SequentialMaxPriority is used to set the start value of the salience instead of 65518.
The SequentialMinPriority is used to check if this minimum salience value is not violated in the Decision Table Compiler. (if it's violated, compilation error occurs.)
