I forgot to answer your other question: I'm on Drools 5.2. I had tried the Drools 5.3 Beta 1 distribution but there was no improvement- it seems something was fixed specifically in MVEL 2.1 Beta6.
Also, to Thomas: I have to specify -Xmx512m in order to run a pretty bare minimum unit test (this does include a Spring application context but it is very small) using this Drools setup to run or I will get an OOM Java Heap exception within seconds. It is actually kind of strange how quickly the exception is thrown. I will double check the 512 figure and get back to you if I can indeed get it to run with less memory, I really dislike spreading bad info around. The full Webapp needs more than that plus a MaxPermSize increase, but there is a lot of other stuff going on in the war. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Drools-5-2-performance-building-KnowledgeBase-tp3239746p3282810.html Sent from the Drools: User forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
