Re: [rules-users] Cant seem to fire a dynamically added rule

Samir, I had a look at the code you sent me and the problem is that you are not adding the rule to the rulebase. In your ConnectionHandler.testDynamicRules() method, you need to do: ruleBase.addPackage( builder.getPackage() ); You probably incurred in this error because you are misusing the Package objects. You should either remove the whole package from the rule base before doing your merge or, what I think is best, create a package with the "delta" rules you want to add. So, instead of doing: Package defaultPackage = pkg[0]; Do: Package defaultPackage = new Package( pkg[0].getName() ); So, you are effectively creating a new Package object, but when you add it to the rule base, it will be correctly merged into the existing one. This also allows you to AVOID the lock you are doing here: ruleBase.lock(); // no need for that if you use a new package with the same name packageDescr.addRule( ruleDescr ); builder.addPackage(packageDescr); ruleBase.unlock(); // no need for that if you use a new package with the same name Hope it helps.
