[rules-users] programmatic manipulation of 4.0 salience?

[Mark Proctor]

Integer.parseInt( salienceText ) is only needed if your source is a 
string, otherwise  new SalienceInteger( 10 ) is fine. Take a look at the 
SalienceInteger to understand how it works, tuple, workingMemory are 
ignored for non dynamic environments:
