[rules-users] Re: Using JDK dynamic proxies as facts

[Oleg Yavorsky]

Chris,

I'm thinking about using dynamic proxies in my rules too. I'll be glad to hear about your success with them. I think that there could be problem with matching of facts as they won't be of original class but of Proxy$... one. CGLIB approach doesn't have such problem as it just modifies original classes' bytecode. I could be wrong, anyway.

Oleg.

             if ( !ruleBase.getConfiguration().isShadowProxy() || cls == null || !ruleBase.getConfiguration().isShadowed( cls.getName() ) ) {
                 return;
             }
 By default shadowing is turned on for all (none final) bjects, except stuff in the org.drools namespace, you have to set exclusion lists.too. So if your package has a null namespace it will still attempt to shadow it.

 The suspect code beginning on line 333 is:   
   
             String pkgName = cls.getPackage().getName();
             if ( "org.drools.reteoo".equals( pkgName ) || "org.drools.base".equals( pkgName ) ) {
                 // We don't shadow internal classes   
                 this.shadowEnabled = false;
                 return;
             }
   
 The getPackage() method returns null.  In this case, it would be good if JBoss Rules handled the null and went on to shadow the object anyway, since it is obviously not in the org.drools packages.
   
 Now I'll continue trying to build a test case for my original problem.
   
 Shall I enter a JIRA for this issue?
   
 Thanks,

 I'm trying to use objects that are generated as dynamic proxies (through the java.lang.reflect.Proxy class) as facts in JBoss Rules 4.0 MR3.  My project was using CGLib to generate proxies, and they were working just fine in 3.0.6.  However, when I tried 4.0, the CGLib based proxies seemed to have a final method that kept the proxies from being proxied as shadow facts.  So I rewrote my code to try to use JDK based proxies, and version 4.0 MR3 accepts them and apparently creates shadow facts, but now my rules don't fire correctly.     
     
 So, in an attempt to create a simple program to illustrate the problem, I ran into a different problem.  The attached eclipse project illustrates this problem.
     
 The error is:
     
 java.lang.NullPointerException     
     at org.drools.reteoo.Rete$ObjectTypeConf.<init>(Rete.java:333)
     at org.drools.reteoo.Rete.assertObject(Rete.java:152)

     at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.insert (AbstractWorkingMemory.java:584)
     at com.sample.DroolsTest.main(DroolsTest.java:42)
     
 Has anyone successfully used JDK based dynamic proxies as facts?
     
 Thanks,
