Ok, I think I understood well. I modified my business code, now I call if

(wm != null)
            wm.update(wm.getFactHandle(this), this);

each time a properties is modified.

But it is worse. Rules that sould be activated only once actually loop, even if I add the no-loop clause.

I understand why they loop, assuming update = (rectact + insert), but I dont get a solution to my problem. I just want to notify an object changement in order to read again the properties, but I dont want to restart the ruleflow.

Sorry, but I find hard to say it in english because even in french, it's not very clear ;)

In essence, yes. Have a look at "update" in the manual (and a read on Shadow Facts will probably be useful too).

yes, i made a mistake. its a.setE(...) and not c.setE(...).

I don't call update. If I dont call update, properties of an object are just read one time for all rules?

I guess the example is a simplification as "c" (in RHS) has not been bound to a fact.
 
Anyway, that aside, do you call "update" to ensure WM knows of changes to facts otherwise properties need to be "time-constant" which in your example they are not.

Hi,

I have two rules :

rule "rule 1 - 1"
   
    salience 90
    ruleflow-group "rfg1"
    when
        a : A(
            eComputed == "false",
            c < 15,
            d >= 75)       
    then
        c.setE(0);
end



rule "rule 1 - 2"

    salience 10
    ruleflow-group "rfg1"
    when
        a : A(
            eComputed == "false",
            c >= 15,
            d >= 75)       
    then
        c.setE(1);
end



and part of the corresponding business code :

public class A {

    ...

    public String getEComputed(){
       if(eComputed)
          return "true";
       else
          return "false";
    }

    ...

    public void setE(int e){
        this.e = e;
        eComputed = true;
    }

    ...

}



so, I expected that if the first rule is activated, the second won't be. But according to my tests, the two rule can be fired on the same object A.
While debugging, I noticed the getEComputed method was only called once. I suppose that I should write this :


rule "rule 1 - 1"
   
    salience 90
    ruleflow-group "rfg1"
    when
        a : A(
            eComputed == "false",
            c < 15,
            d >= 75)       
    then
        c.setE(0);
        c.setEComputed("true);
end



rule "rule 1 - 2"

    salience 10
    ruleflow-group "rfg1"
    when
        a : A(
            eComputed == "false",
            c >= 15,
            d >= 75)       
    then
        c.setE(1);
        c.setEComputed("true);
end

But I would prefer another solution. Thanks for help.
