I have an application that classifies glucose levels in a patient,
looks at the insulin dose, and provides advice. Works reasonably well
(using 4.07 and local drl file). However, my "decision object" has a
text field in it where the advice and explanation is put, by the
relevant rules. This means that the RHS always modifies the decision
object, so no-loop does not prevent looping. For this reason, I have
created a "state object" that has a bunch of Booleans in it, and the
RHS sets a flag as well as modifying the decision object. This works.
My question is whether feeding a state object with a bunch of Booleans
is really the right thing to do, or should I be asserting new facts
(one fact object for each current Boolean). I could have a "helper
object" with inner classes that represent these facts. It feels like
I ought be be inserting and retracting facts rather than the approach
I am using, but not sure it matters.
Thank you.
