[rules-users] Custom dates with @date-effective and @date-expires

[Faisal Shafique]

Thanks for the answer. Yes, it may be easier to achieve with simple date fact but we have thousands of rules and each and every one of them has this temporal requirement. I was thinking along the lines of SessionClock. I know there is a 'realtime' and 'pseudoclock' implementation of it. May be I can write my own implementation of SessionClock and set any arbitrary date passed by the user into the knowledge session config. Then the rules attributes (@date-effective and @date-expires) can take care of filtering out the ones not effective on the date that I am setting in SessionClock. Am I thinking in the wrong direction?

Regards,

This is in the context of @date-effective and @date-expires metadata that can be specified as part of a rule. Drools expert documentation seems to imply that this metadata uses "current date" though I am not clear what current date (system date?) means.
