Ø  Why not a single Pattern?

Ø      fact:InsertedFactPOJO(countdownLatch == 0) If (and only if) there is not 
more than a single InsertedFactPOJO in WM it doesn't matter (except confuse 
readers) but otherwise it produces more or less disturbing effects.



Interesting.  For my case (luckily?)  I have a flow of control that definitely 
only includes a single InsertedFactPOJO in WM.



Where can I best isolate my Drools readings, sample exercises et. al. Drools 
discovery efforts so that I can (some day) competently answer your question 
"Why not a single pattern?"  .... Is there a place in the Drools literature 
that explicitly addresses these "disturbing effects"?



THANKS WOLFGANG!

Agenda groups provide a mechanism that's difficult to emulate using "guard 
objects", i.e., the stack-ish behaviour, with automatic return to the 
previously active group once all activations of the current group are exhausted.

There may be some good reason for "fine grained control" every now and then, 
but basically this contravenes the fundamental idea of rules being perfectly 
capable of determining the right order - if written correctly, that is, by 
judiciously selecting fact properties by constraints.

Why not a single Pattern?

    fact:InsertedFactPOJO(countdownLatch == 0) If (and only if) there is not 
more than a single InsertedFactPOJO in WM it doesn't matter (except confuse 
readers) but otherwise it produces more or less disturbing effects.
