Well, since the StatelessSession is basically a convenience wrapper around a StatefulSession I figure it should be possible. On StatefulSession, which extends WorkingMemory, you just call setFocus() before firing the rules. I'm not sure what the best way to do this with a StatelessSession would be. I can think of some hacks, but would rather not lead you down a garden path. :) Dev d00ds, any comment?
