<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Globals should not be used for storing information
that needs to be updated. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>From the
documentation:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Globals are named objects that can be passed in to the rule engine; without
needing to insert them. Most often these are used for static information, or
services that are used in the RHS of a rule, or perhaps a means to return
objects from the rule engine. If you use a global on the LHS of a rule, make
sure it is immutable.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So changes to a global are not taking into account
in the LHS of rules.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You should insert your TestValid object in your
workingMemory and use conditions as </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> TestValid ( hasErrors == true
)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Once we have variable support, you will be able to
do exactly what you are trying to do here by defining a testValid
variable.</FONT></DIV>
