Alright. So do I have to worry about contamination between rule flows.
 
Consider the following scenario:
 
1) Instantiate Fact Model A with property A = 10.
2) Insert Fact Model A into Working Memory
3) Start Process A.
4) Instantiate second instance of Fact Model A with property A = 20.
5) Start Process A again.

So are there now two separate instances of Fact Model A in working memory or is 
there still only one instance and property A has been updated to 20? Will 
process B find the correct value (20)? Is it thread safe? Will unused fact 
objects hang around forever?
 
Sorry if I'm being a little thick about this. Maybe I'm worrying about nothing.
 
Thanks for your response.

My experience has been (and I believe the expected behavior of stateful
sessions) is that the state of your working memory will not be cleaned up
between flow executions. If,for example, one flow execution inserts a new
fact into working memory, then a subsequent flow execution would see that
fact in working memory.

For my requirements, which was to use Drools-Server as a stateless, request
- response server, with no shared state between requests, it was necessary
to use a stateless session.
