Is there a way to timeout a KieSession

[Webster Homer]

Is there a way to timeout a KieSession?

If our rules aren't done in 30 seconds there is probably a problem and it would be nice to be able to terminate the session and raise an error.

We are on drools 6.4

There isn't a timeout, but indeed adding it would be a good idea. I'll add this requirement for next releases.

What you can do (not sure if this can help in your case) is calling fireAllRules(int max) where max is the maximum number of rules that should be fired before the method returns.

I hope this helps,

Mario

Thanks! A timeout would be much cleaner. 

I found that I could make a timer rule that when it fires would stop the rule execution by retracting one of our key facts. I'm testing this, and it looks good but each of our rule based applications would need to create its own rule to making this solution non-optimal
