Re: Rule Engine / Dispatcher

[Paul Fremantle]

Ant,

I was thinking that it would be up to the Engine whether to spawn a new thread or not. But I guess the point is if its a call rather than a return, that would be complex. On the other hand, I guess we could simply change the response from a boolean to an int

e.g.

public static final int CONTINUE=0, END=1, RESTART=2; etc

That way the engine can decide whether to use a new thread or continue on the existing one. However, we shouldn't make assumptions about which thread a mediation is run on.
