[rules-users] error with firing of rules and chainig rules

[Fnu Mahalakshmi]

Hi,

If you have multiple rules where its important that rule 1 be fired on the data first and then rule 2 how can we do this without specifying the salience factor?
I do not want my rules to be dependant on each other as the data I am passing  differs from each other.
Ex:
Room{
Name, Id,
Status,
}
Fire{
Room,
FireType}

Sprinkler{
Room,
SprinklerType
status}


I pass all data above into my working memory.
I have rules:
Rule 1: "if fire exists update room status to 'fire'"
Rule 2: "if room has status 'fire' update sprinkler status to 'room number'"

Now when I pass my javabean objects: if theobject of type sprinkler gets processed first it will never get the room number even if actually the room has status 'fire'

If I specify salience feature then It will never work for my sprinkler objects and always be multichained.
I don't want chaining between my rules.

Any suggestions???
Thank you
M
