[rules-users] programmatic manipulation of 4.0 salience?

[Scott Reed]

For lack of any better suggestion I am getting the int salience using
Integer.parse(rule.getPriority().toString()).
Of course this is a huge hack since it depends on the undocumented toString() function returning the 
string value of the integer salience.

I am still very interested to hear how the designers thought we should use the API to get the 
salience value.
