Thanks.
What I've done is add an insertOrUpdate method on a util class we use.
How efficient is getFactHandle? Is it a simple HashMap lookup? Or
would we be better off keeping our own map of handles->facts?
public static FactHandle insertOrUpdate(Object fact, boolean dynamic) {
FactHandle factHandle = workingMemory.getFactHandle(fact);
if (factHandle == null) {
return workingMemory.insert(fact, dynamic);
}
workingMemory.update(factHandle, fact);
return factHandle;
}

Subject: Re: [rules-users] Updating an existing fact w/o using fact
handle
Nope. You must use the update method. You can get the previous fact
handle using the get method in working memory if you still have the
original non-modified object, or if behavior is equals based, using an
equals object.

2008/5/30 Fenderbosch, Eric <Eric.Fenderbosch(a)fedex.com>:
Is it required to use WorkingMemory.update to update an existing
fact?
I thought if assert behavior was set to equality and you
implemented the
equals method properly, then you could simply use
WorkingMemory.insert
to overwrite a fact in working memory with a new version. If
this isn't
the case, then are there other settings that will give this
behavior?
I'm using 4.0.7.
Thanks for any help.

My TestFact class:
public class TestFact {
private String id;
private String value;
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getValue() {
return value;
}
public void setValue(String value) {
this.value = value;
}
@Override
public int hashCode() {
return id.hashCode();
}
@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (this == obj) return true;
if (!(obj instanceof TestFact)) return false;
TestFact other = (TestFact) obj;
// not null safe, i know
return this.id.equals(other.id);
}
}
And the JUnit Test Case that fails:
public void testFactUpdate() throws Exception {
TestFact testFact = new TestFact();
testFact.setId("1234");
testFact.setValue("old");
FactHandle testFactHandle =
workingMemory.insert(testFact);
TestFact updatedFact = new TestFact();
updatedFact.setId("1234");
updatedFact.setValue("new");
FactHandle updatedFactHandle =
workingMemory.insert(updatedFact);
// using workingMemory.update here works
// passes
assertTrue(testFactHandle == updatedFactHandle);
TestFact retrievedTestFact = (TestFact)
workingMemory.getObject(testFactHandle);
// fails
assertEquals("new",
retrievedTestFact.getValue());
}
