I’ve attached an eclipse project that demonstrates the problem if you’d like to see it with your own eyes. Take a look at CmdStyleRuleFlowTest.java.

Subject: Re: [rules-users] Problem with CommandFactory.newStartProcess in 5.2 M1

That's weird,

I'm looking at the master repository and that's exactly what the newStartProcess do:

public Command newStartProcess(String processId,

Map<String, Object> parameters) {

StartProcessCommand startProcess = new StartProcessCommand();

startProcess.setProcessId(processId);

startProcess.setParameters((HashMap<String, Object>) parameters);

return startProcess;

}

Let me check out the 5.2 M1 tag

There appears to be a problem with CommandFactory.newStartProcess in Drools 5.2 M1. If I do this:

            String someString = "Some String";

            Map<String, Object> variables = new HashMap<String, Object>();

            variables.put("someString", someString);

            List<Command<?>> cmds = new ArrayList<Command<?>>();

            cmds.add(CommandFactory.newStartProcess("SampleFlow", variables));

            cmds.add(CommandFactory.newFireAllRules());

The default value for the someString variable in SampleFlow does NOT get updated. However, if I do this:

            String someString = "Some String";

            Map<String, Object> variables = new HashMap<String, Object>();

            variables.put("someString", someString);

            List<Command<?>> cmds = new ArrayList<Command<?>>();

            StartProcessCommand cmd = new StartProcessCommand();

            cmd.setProcessId("SampleFlow");

            cmd.setParameters(variables);

            cmds.add(cmd);

            cmds.add(CommandFactory.newFireAllRules());

the someString variable does get updated. However, StartProcessCommand is not intended to be used (Discouraged Access), so I don’t want to use this solution.
