When I use the local drools rules instance, object gets updated and reflects the changes accordingly but when I use the remote web service call to use the remote drools engine, rules get executed correctly but updated values does not get reflected back in the return object.

Environment into:

• JBoss 5
• Uses XLS decision table for the drools rules file
  
• Front end uses jbosseap5 and back-end users JBoss 5

Here’s the function that I use in the decision table (.xls)

function boolean setCTCFlag(Object resultViewMapObj, String siteCode){

        boolean flag = false;

        Map<String, ResultView> resultViewMap = (Map<String, ResultView>) resultViewMapObj;

        List<ResultView> resultViewList = new ArrayList<ResultView>();

        resultViewList = new ArrayList<ResultView> (resultViewMap.values());

        ResultView resultView = new ResultView();

        resultView = resultViewList.get(0);

        if(resultView.getSampleView().getSample() != null){

            String sampleInd = resultView.getSampleView().getSample().getSampleIndicator();

            if(sampleInd != null && sampleInd.length() != 0){

                String[] sampleIndComp = sampleInd.split(""[^\\w\\s]"");

                for(int i = 0; i<sampleIndComp.length; i++){

                        LabelValueView labelValueView = new LabelValueView();

                        labelValueView.setLabel(sampleIndComp[i].trim());

                        labelValueView.setValue(" ");

                        // DOTO: this is the issue

                        //       folowing line gets executed but changes do not get reflected in the object.

                        //       Only happens when this called remotely.  

                        resultView.getDynamicFields().put("CTC_CLIENT_FLAG", labelValueView);

                        flag = true;

                }

            }

        }

        return flag;

    }
