Method Details

rederiveOne

void rederiveOne()

The method is called by the ReteContainer to re-derive tuples after the normal messages have been delivered and consumed. The re-derivation process may trigger the creation and delivery of further messages and further re-derivation rounds.

isInDRedMode

boolean isInDRedMode()

Returns true if this node actually runs in DRed mode (not necessarily).

Returns:

true if the node is operating in DRed mode
