[rules-users] PropertyChangeListeners vs. modify()

[Barry Kaplan]

I'm working on an implementation that uses AspectJ to introduce the 
required property change listeners. However the listeners will only 
trigger when the rule when clause exits (using after advice).

This is just an experiment now, as I'm not sure how appropriate 
deferring the property change events (and hence the calls to modify) for 
/all/ facts till end-of-when will work out. I suspect it will be 
application dependent.
