[rules-users] Hide a Rule that has fired

[Wolfgang Laun]

Normally people don't worry about such a "one shot" rule co-existing
with application specific logic. Job is retracted and the rule remains
but inactive. If you really want to separate the "up front" logic from
the business logic you can use two rule bases and two connected
sessions. The second session object must be made available as a
"global" to the first session and the insert simply uses that. (What
you have with the JobMapRule and whatever rules come later is the
simplest case of a "staging" design pattern.)

global KieSession nextSession

rule  "JobMapRule"
...
    nextSession.insert(incomingData);
...
end
