<br> The action is not being executed. I don't use decision tables frequently, but I think that it ignores empty cells and is generating an empty consequence for your rule. Usually, you would place the method call on the header prototype and the parameter in the cell. So your cell would be:<br>
<br>| hoover | true |<br>| xyz | false |<br><br> The method prototype would be something like (please check the correct syntax in the manual):<br><br>brand.setGoodBrand( $param );<br><br> Where the engine would replace $param by the value you write in the cell.<br>

Can't you keep the reference to your object while firing the
rules?<br>
<br>
MyObject x = ...<br>
ksession.insert( x );<br>
ksession.fireAllRules();<br>
boolean result = x.getBooleanAttribute();<br>

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So, how do I access data after the rules fire?<br>
<br>
If one has a rule which modifies a field on an object (a boolean, for<br>
example), and you want to return the object after the rules are<br>
complete, how do you do it?<br>
<br>
I tried this using a StatefulKnowledgeSession, getting an object<br>
collection after the rules fire, but I don't see that this works.<br>
<br>
Also googled the heck out of this and looked in all the documentation.<br>
I must be missing something, because the docs generally are pretty good.<br>
<br>
<br>
Any hints?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
