The latter approach is particularly powerful we have a very simple but
amazingly flexible class called Affirmation which just have 3 fields - String
name, Object subject, Object value. This however gives most flexibility that
you need
Eg
rule Hungry
when
$person : Person(hoursSinceLunch2 || donutsOnDesk==0 ||
candybarsInDrawer==0)
not Affirmation(name == PersonIsHungry, subject == $person)
then
insert(new Affirmation(PersonIsHungry, $person, true);
end
rule Food
when
$person : Person()
Affirmation(name == PersonIsHungry, subject == $person, value == true)
not Affirmation(name == PersonHasLookedForFood, subject == $person)
then
modify($person) {
lookForFood()
}
insert(new Affirmation(PersonHasLookedForFood, $person));
end
- I;ve also updated the rules so they are less likely to retrigger multiple
times if some other rules modify person

Subject: Re: [rules-users] How to reuse a result of a rule in an other rule
Basically, you can either update an object with the results of the first
rule, or
create a new object.
Like:
rule Hungry
when
$person : Person(hoursSinceLunch2 || donutsOnDesk==0 ||
candybarsInDrawer==0)
then
$person.setHungry(true);
update($person);
end
rule Food
when
$person : Person(hungry==true)
then
$person.lookForFood()
end
or
rule Hungry
when
$person : Person(hoursSinceLunch2 || donutsOnDesk==0 ||
candybarsInDrawer==0)
then
$hungry=new Hungry();
$hungry.setPerson($person);
insert($hungry);
end
rule Food
when
$person : Person()
$hungry : Hungry(person==$person)
then
$person.lookForFood()
end
