Our rule engine software made by Talarian Corporation as part of their RTworks 
suite.

The company was bought out by TIBCO several years ago, and the software is no 
longer supported. They essentially consigned it to the dust bin. And with a 
massive upgrade to our system, we had to find a rule engine alternative.

The old RTworks rule engine concept of an AgendaGroup was called a "Context". 
You could assign a rule to as many contexts as you wanted. You just listed 
their names, separated by semi-colons, following the context keyword.

There are always trade-offs when switching, but Drools has many more features 
we could only wish were present in the old software.

That's not so welcome news. Our old rule engine software had this ability. 
We'll find a work-around, but is this being considered in a later update to 
Drools?  My thought is that rule should be like method: you really should only 
need to write it once.


no plans to add this, especially as ruleflow is the preferred way to 
orchestration rules so that's where our focus is these days. Which is your old 
rule engine that supported this? I don't believe jess or clips allow a rule to 
live in multiple modules - which is what AgendaGroups is based on.

I was wondering (hoping) that there is a way to put a rule into more
than one agenda group?

I've tried writing:

rule "example"
   agenda-group "process x stuff"
   agenda-group "process y stuff"
   when
        (blah, blah, blah)
   then
        (blah, blah, blah)
end

But while the compiler has no problems with this it really only
includes the rule in the last agenda-group listed.


nope, not possible.


Thanks,
Allen
