Everything after the time of execution is the toString() method of the fact object I passed into working memory. The object is still in its initial state, the rules did not manipulate the object in any way. I am using the RuleAgent class to monitor a directory full of .drl files and load them into the rulebase. This is my load rules code:

public static RuleBase loadRules() throws Exception

{

Properties prop = new Properties();

prop.setProperty(RuleAgent.DIRECTORY, "c:/intellidata-home/sleuth/drlFiles");

prop.setProperty(RuleAgent.POLL_INTERVAL, "300"); // poll every 300 seconds for hot deployment.

// Get a new RuleBase using these properties

RuleAgent agent = RuleAgent.newRuleAgent(prop);

RuleBase ruleBase = agent.getRuleBase();

Thread.sleep(5000);

return ruleBase;

}

If I load the rules manually, without using the RuleAgent, then the rules modify the fact object in exactly the way they are supposed to. Essentially it appears to me that the rules are not firing. I’ve looked at the FileScanner and RuleAgent source code and have not been able to determine the problem, it appears that this should work.

Can anybody look at this and tell me if this is a bug or if I’m doing something wrong?

Thanks,
