    The rule that caused the working memory action that created this PropagationContext. If this working memory action was done from java this is null.
    
    Returns:
    
    rule that caused the working memory action
  - getFactHandle
```
FactHandle getFactHandle()

    Returns:
    
    fact handle that was inserted, updated or retracted that created the PropagationContext
  - getType
```
int getType()
```
    The PropagationContextType, numbers may change between Drools versions. Or we may eventually switch this to an enum. INSERTION = 0; DELETION = 1; MODIFICATION = 2; RULE_ADDITION = 3; RULE_REMOVAL = 4; EXPIRATION = 5;
    
    Returns:
    
    type of the propagation context
