Rules are fired sequentially, on the thread where you call "run". If you want asynchronous execution, you could create a thread and run your code off in its own thread. CHek out the "implement" function in the "Jess Function List" chapter of the manual for an example of this.

Hi everyone,

I did search on this but could not find an answer.

When multiple rules fire in JESS, it is JESS who decides the order in which they fire - no worries. Although these fire in some order, does the RHS of the first have to finish before the RHS of the next rule is executed, and so on?

I was hoping that if several rules fire, their RHSs are all executed one they fire, without any waiting (somewhat in parallel).


Thanks,
MH
