Re: [rules-users] Continuous Planning on Drools Planner: locking historic facts

Hi luis, In time, I 'll probably provide out-of-the-box support for locking (and maybe even partially for semi-locking), but for now, just do it something like this with Beta1: @PlanningEntity class Assignment { Shift shift; Employee employee; // that's the planning variable boolean locked; // getter and setters } The construction heuristics won't reset the already planned entities (by default at least), and since all locked entities will be planned, those will work. For the metaheuristics (local search, tabu search, SA, ...) you 'll need to make your MoveFactory's smarter: the can't generate moves on planning entities where isLocked() is true. Note that you can still use CachedMoveFactory's as the locking won't change during planning phases (even if you use real-time planning actually).
