[rules-users] The update function inside a rule

[FrankVhh]

There might be some conceptual problem going on here.

Calling a ruleset with just (one of- those rules would indeed not produce
the desired results (leaving the timer aside).

Here is what happens:
1) The rule matches because endtime < currenttime
2) Rule is put on agenda
3) As the only rule in the agenda, it is executed and sets the endtime to a
couple of seconds in the future
4) WM is updated and rules are re-evaluated
5) No more matching rules because endtime > currenttime
6) Rule execution stops

I do not know exactly what Marc is doing, but I assume he is trying to keep
the engine alive by calling fireAllrules time after time. Part of the
problem may be lying here. Could you show us the all parts of your code
where you have "fireAllRules() " coded?

Additionally, we can be hoping, but the issue with the timer will probably
remain. Did you try to System.out the values of endtime and currenttime
after each rule execution?
