Drools bytecode generates these beans without generating java source code (if you are using the declare, not the data modeller). Having said that, it is very simple:

declare Here
    location: String @key
end

   Generates a java class roughly equivalent to:

public class Here implements Serializable {
   private String location;

   public Here() {}
 
   public Here( String location ) {
      this.location = location;
   }

   public String getLocation() { return location; }
   public void setLocation(String location) { this.location = location; }

   // generates a toString()

   // generates a hashCode()/equals() method that use the location's hashcode()/equals() 
}

   I did this from memory, but it is pretty much all it does. Nothing complex there, just a javabean really.

   The difference to not using @key is that the hashCode()/equals() methods would not take "location" in consideration, and in this case, since there are no other attributes, would then rely on system identity.

resulting code of any arbitrary @key declarations I might want to deploy. Is
there such a way?
