This looks different to what was fixed in 4.0.4. I'm cc'ing brockm to get his feedback as it looks like an MVEL bug on accessors.

Hi Ingomar,

Which drools version are you using? We made improvements on 4.0.4, that fixes concurrency issues on mvel core, so if you aren't using it please do an update and try test against your environment.

Please let me know if your problems go away when you upgrade.

    Folks,
    I am currently trying to scale our implementation by farming out
    request into mutliple threads. I am on a 4 CPU Mac.
    A few things I am wondering about:
    1. Although I see an increase in CPU load when going from single
    to multi-threaded processing the throughput increased marginally.
    I am pretty sure that my measurements are correct. I have checked
    the GC and this is not the source of congestion. My question here
    is whether Drools is using lot's of synchronization that may
explain this. 2. When I share the RuleBase accross threads (which I think is
    valid?) I get interesting errors during execution. eg:

    Details:
     * I use StatelessSessions which are private to the threads
     * No data is shared between threads (with the exception of the
    RuleBase, as outline above)
     * I am on JDK 1.5

    I would be grateful for any pointers for 'correct' use of Drools
    in an MT environment.
    Cheers,
