Rule attributes
Drools rules are data-driven. This means that the only way to activate a rule is by adding data to the engine that matches the conditions of that rule. However, there are multiple circumstances where we will want some rules with matching situations to be filtered out. One of this filtering mechanism is called rule attributes.
Rule attributes are extra features that we add to our rules to modify their behavior in a specific way. There are many rule attributes (of which, we'll explain the most used ones and some of their possible combinations) and each one modifies the way we filter rules execution in a different way, as follows:

enabled false when Customer() then System.out.println("we have a customer"); ...Get Mastering JBoss Drools 6 now with the O’Reilly learning platform.
