<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Regarding Issue 1:<br>
Even if you do have different objects of ConcreteType1, the rule is fired for each of them, since each of these is equal to itself in terms of the BaseType.<br>
<br>
I also fail to understand Issue 2. But perhaps your misconception about base type and subtype matching is also responsible for that.<br>
<br>
Rule "s" looks strange for more than one reason. What is the DroolsWorkingMemory() pattern supposed to achieve? Is it a general trigger so that the rule only fires if one such object is present?<br>
<br>
Leaving base and extended types aside, testing for the equality of two objects of the same type must be done much more carefully. Assuming three objects of TypeX, x1, x2, x3 with x1.equals(x2) and NOT x1.equals(x3) and a rule like this:<br>
<br>
rule "xxx"<br>
when<br>
o1 : TypeX()<br>
o2 : TypeX()<br>
eval( o1.equals( o2 ) )<br>
then<br>
...<br>
<br>
This rule will fire 5 times, with the following activations:<br>
<x1,x1>, <x2,x2>, <x3,x3>, <x1,x2>, <x2,x1>.<br>
<br>
Using, e.g.,<br>
o2:TypeX( this != o1 ) <br>
reduces this to two firings.<br>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <br>
I have a doubt regarding tuples. I created a rule using complex types objects. I am comparing two complex type objecs which have parent-child relationship eg. "ParentType.equals(ChildType)". I expect this to follow java rule which allows such comparision. Now
when I run the rules with different values for fields in ParentType and ChildType (which means the rule should fail) to my surprise it evals to TRUE. Also upon inspection, the tuple shows me only the ChildType instance not the ParentType.
<br>
<br>
I would appreciate any help on this.<o:p></o:p></p>
