Cedric is referring to this issue:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-3461
Currently, the following implementation should be respected for entities:
- solutionHashCode() must include the variables, and hashCode() must not
include the variables
(same for solutionEquals() and equals() of course)
1) Check if your code follows that?
2) Does your code follow the equals() and hashCode() contract of Java?
I agree with you guys that a changing hashcode might have caused this.
- The entity X is inserted into a Set or Map with a hashcode A.
- While it's in that Set or Map, the entity X changes which also changes
it's hashcode value to B.
- This effectively corrupts the Set or Map, because X is still in bucket
A%n, while it should be in bucket B%n,
so the Set or Map will report that it doesn't contain X.
That fact that uncommented equals() and hashcode() together doesn't fix
it, means that:
a) either the superclass has an equals/hashcode problem
b) either it's not a hashcode related problem
c) the 2 Meeting entities are different instances, that represent the
same entity. This is only possible if you create or remove entities in
moves. => In this case you cannot rely on object identity and you must
implement an equals/hashcode implementation based on at least some sort
of id (for example a database primary key or uuid).
It seems to happen randomly, with different entities each time
If environmentMode == REPRODICBLE or DEBUG or TRACE (so not PRODUCTION)
and you're not using simulated annealing (~ timegradient based), then 2
runs should be exactly the same always (more info in manual on
environmentMode).
So, if they are still not in that case, the only thing I can think of
that differs between runs is the memory addresses of the entity
instances which are used in object identity.
Object.hashCode() is implemented to return the memory address.
Object.equals() returns true if it's the same memory address. The memory
address doesn't change during 1 run, but it differs from run to run.
So how can that explain that "randomly" behavior? Because in a Map of
capacity 10, the hashCode() gets % 10, so about 1 out of 10 instances
with different hashCode()s do end up in the same bucket (and this
differs from run to run).
3) Can you turn on environmentMode TRACE, just to verify that it doesn't
fail on anything else sooner?
I couldn't find an easy way to add a knowledge session logger in
planner, but that might also be useful.
I don't think there is an easy way at
this time. Feel free to create a
jira issue that DroolsScoreDirector or DroolsScoreDirectorFactory should
support that.

yeah, i have a solutionEquals() and solutionHashCode() as well. I
tried dumping my hashCode() and equals() methods on the PlanningEntity
but that didn't seem to have much effect. My hashCode() and
solutionHashCode() values now both change when I assign a different
supplier, but planner still can't seem to find the entity in working
memory.
