<br> Sequential mode is something completely different, so don't bother about it right now. From your description, ruleflow seems to fit the requirements. Organize your rules in groups, and have a split node decide which path to follow in your rule flow... as an additional bonus of this approach, you can use lock-on-active to prevent recursion.<br>
<br> Ordering of rules is not really a criteria for deciding for or against the use of a rules engine. So, I would say, before doing anything else, take a look at ruleflow. Also, please note that split nodes can take conditions in the exact same way as a rule LHS to decide which path to follow, giving you a lot of expressiveness power for your "flow decisions".<br>

Thanks Mark. that's sad to know :-(<br>
<br>
<br>
I have serious of use cases to applied against set of huge data daily. use<br>
cases can be in the tree structure(parent/child relationship).<br>
<br>
If the data passed parent use case(i.e parent condition is not met), then it<br>
should go thru child usecases. I want to happen this recursively till last<br>
child in the tree, but in a specific order.<br>
<br>
I was going thru agenda group,activation group etc as advised. looks like i<br>
could not achieve..<br>
<br>
then i was going thru documentation and came across rule flow and sequential<br>
mode. But could not make any decision since I'm new to drools. It would be<br>
great If someone shed some light on this?<br>
<br>
1. Can I achieve this work flow using rule flow?<br>
<br>
2. What about sequential mode? Can I achieve using it?<br>
<br>
3. Should I not be using drools or any rule engine at all for my<br>
requirement?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
