[rules-users] Differences in how WorkingMemory is storing the objects: identity and equality

[nicolae oana]

Mark,

Thanks a lot !  Now I understand what it's all about. :)

 fact.equals( fact ) is Equality mode
 fact == fact is Identity mode.

 I read in Drools manual about how Working Memory stores the asserted objects : Identity mode and Equality mode. 
 But I'm not sure I properly understood the differences. In what concerns the Equality mode, the return of a FactHandle is done only when a different type of object is asserted?( a type that not exists yet in HashTable?). In the rest cases nothing is happening ?
   
 Best regards, 
                  Oana.
