My application handles multiple request but the rules in my knowledge session are executed by single thread only. For eg: Thread 1 and Thread 2 enters the knowledge session with the gap of 2millisec But Thread 1 executes its own rules and even the rules for Thread 2 is executed by Thread 1. Imagine if there are 1000 request which means the rules for each requests will be executed by only a 1 Thread?
Is there any way where in DROOLS where we can prevent this and ensure that the rules are executed by multiple Threads?
Below is a small sample test I tried:

Thread t1 = new Thread(){

ksession.fireAllRules();

}
};
t1.start();
t2.start();
} catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
}

StatefulKnowledgeSession
s are not thread-safe according to the API docs. If you absolutely need to execute rules on multiple threads, reformulate your problem using StatelessKnowledgeSession
s instead.
