[rules-users] Can't obtain object from a FactHandle

Given a org.drools.event.rule.BeforeActivationFiredEvent, method getActivation() returns a org.drools.runtime.rule.Activation and its method getFactHandles() is documented to return a List<FactHandle>. It should be possible to retrieve the fact object using session.getObject( factHandle ), and this succeeds in many instances, but not reliably (5.5.0-Final). Given facts of types One and Two a rule like One( $list: listOFTwos ) Two(...) from $list I find that Two facts, when matched via from, are not reported with the proper fact handle, i.e., the one returned from the insert. What's the point in reporting fact handles that can't be used to retrieve a fact object? If I want to obtain all facts that participate in an activation, is method Activation.getObjects() more (and fully) reliable? -W
