Hi,

 

I am getting the following error when I try to do complex object referencing in drools:

My class:

A{

String Type;

B objectb;

//getters and setters for above

}

 

My rules:

 

rule "prod"

     

      when 

     $a :A(Type == "Prod" , objectB != "")

      then

B bobject = new B();   

     bobject.setType( "Prod" );         

     bobject.setId($a.getNumber().getId());   

     update(bobject);

           

end

 

I want to basically output a file which has updated values of B (type, Id)

 

Error:

org.drools.spi.ConsequenceException: org.drools.FactException: Update error: handle not found for object: com.org.Ip@f42ad0. Is it in the working memory?

Please help! I am very new to drools! Not able to figure out why this error:

 

I am using eclipse and working on Windows machine. Error above was generated on eclipse console.

 

Thank you.
