One way it has been done in the past is to have some rule with a higher
salience take that "root" object and "explode" it into the children
objects
(as deep as needed).

Hi all,
I am using a StatelessKnowledgeSession and therefore call the execute
method
to invoke the rules engine. Having carried out a basic test, it would
appear
that calling execute on an arbitrarily complex object does not insert child
objects, rather rules will only fire if they are based on the parent.
e.g. let's say you have a class called 'Father', which holds a collection
of
'Child' objects. By calling session.execute(fatherObject) I need rules to
fire that use the Child pattern without having to loop through 'insert'ing
all the child elements manually.
Has anyone come across a way around this? The only thing I managed to find
was the use of a Batch Executor but you have to set that up before calling
execute and therefore it's still effectively a manual process.
If only Drools used java annotations, it would be ideal to specify
behaviour
similar to cascade with JPA.
Any help or pointers much appreciated!
Dan
