We have a thread set up specifically for
Jess.runUntilHalt().
In a different thread, we have things definstanced into the
fact base.
We have two rules in question. One has a higher
salience than the other. It appears that the lower salience rule is firing
about 50% of the time. So it appears to us that salience isn't being
checked as we would guess.
We turned off run-until-halt, definstanced the objects and
did an agenda. The lower salience activation has a smaller time associated
with it. My guess is that the waitForActivations() call to runUntilHalt is
being returned before the higher salience rule is activated. So the lower
salience rule fires, then we wait for activations again and then the higher
salience rule is fired.
Is the
time on the activation what I think it is?...the time that the activation was
triggered.
Does
waitForActivations return as soon as there is one
activation?
Does anyone have a suggestion? We're thinking about doing away
with salience and using more predicates, but that would be painful for us as
we've used salience across the board and made some assumptions based on
that.
