[rules-users] Shadow facts

[J Michael Dean]

I am migrating from 4.07 to 5 and my previous DRL file does not  
function correctly;  I previousliy inserted facts with the dynamic  
Boolean set true.  I understand that this is no longer done because  
shadow facts are "not needed" in Drools 5, but is it necessary to do  
anything different in the RHS when modifying facts?  My fact POJOs  
have a method for adding text to themselves.  I believe my rules are  
not working properly because nothing is being modified - only the  
initial activation set fires and then nothing happens.

Restated, the documentation talks about how to "avoid" shadow facts in  
Drools 4.07 - are the restrictions in this part of the docs necessary  
in Drools 5?

Thanks.
