20.6. Salience State Example: Rule "B to C"

rule "B to C"
        salience 10
    when
        State(name == "B", state == State.FINISHED )
        c : State(name == "C", state == State.NOTRUN )
    then
        System.out.println(c.getName() + " finished" );
        c.setState( State.FINISHED );
end

The conflict resolution strategy allows the engine's Agenda to decide which rule to fire.
As rule "B to C" has the higher salience value (10 versus the default salience value of 0), it fires first, modifying object C to state FINISHED.
The Agenda view can also be used to investigate the state of the Agenda, with debug points being placed in the rules themselves and the Agenda view opened.
