[rules-users] Basic doubt regarding Drools Fusion - @expires

[Makewise - Vitor Rui Mendonça]

Hi all!

I’ve got a really basic doubt… I’ve read several documentation regarding it but I think I need some advice here…

Imagine that I have an event:
declare A
      @role( event )
      @expires( 1h )
end

On my Java code, I call “fireAllRules()” method every time that I put an event into the working memory.

My doubt: When does event A expires?

a)      One hour after it was inserted (time-based and without the “fireAllRules()” method call) or

b)      by calling “fireAllRules()” method (event-based)

T.I.A.
