The global ao must be assigned to the ksession, from your Java code, by calling<br> ksession.setGlobal( "ao", assertionObject )<br>before you do anything that triggers LHS evaluations. See Drools Expert, section 4.5.2.<br>
<br>The WM and rule setup as you present it does not make sense (to me). If you insert an AssertionObject as a WM fact, you shouldn't have it as a global. If you want it as a fact, you'll need rules with patterns like<br>
when<br> AssertionObject(...)<br>And the same goes for BillingRecord<br><br>-W<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/8/1 Abarna Ramachandran <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rabarna@archstone.in">rabarna@archstone.in</a>></span><br>

I have attached my rules and java object. Please help me in debugging why this is happening. I am using java 5 and drools 5.0<br>
