final Message message = new Message();
message.setMessage("Hello World");
message.setStatus(Message.HELLO);
ksession.insert(message);

ksession.fireAllRules();

logger.close();

ksession.dispose();
  • A single Message object is created with the message text "Hello World" and the status HELLO and then inserted into the engine, at which point fireAllRules() is executed.
