Re: [rules-users] how to update object modified by call to remote web service

I now have a more complex problem to solve involving this RMI issue and would like some advice. I will state this as a simplified example to help explain the problem. Assume an object hierarchy: there is a Job, which has two attributes, a name and a list of Step objects. Each Step also has a name. before rules execute, create an instance of Job with no name. Add two Steps to the Job's step list: one step is named "one" and the other is named "two" the knowledge session has a global named "rmiService" that is a remote application service. knowledge session also has a global named "results" that is a List (this is my Box) there are two rules: rule1 when $step : Step(name="one") then $step = rmiService.setJobName($step, "i belong to step one"); // sets the name of the step's job results.add($step); end rule2 when $step : Step(name="two") then $step = rmiService.setJobName($step, "i belong to step two"); results.add($step); end call execute() on the session, passing in the Step objects. assume that both rules fire. after execution, the results global contains two objects: the step named "one" has a parent job with name "I belong to step one" and step named "two" has a parent job with name "i belong to step two" - in other words, they no longer have the same parent Job. I can't figure out how I can keep a hierarchy of objects updated when there are multiple RMI calls in the same session. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/how-to-update-object-modified-by-call-t...
