Re: [rules-users] How can generated facts/events be published?

Thank you, Wolfgang! :) Let's say: I'm generating StatusMessage objects during the rule processing. They will be published. But they are also need for further processing (so they can not be deleted after publishing). The StatusMessage objects defined as simple POJOs. If I'm publishing the StatusMessage objects using a rule like rule 'publish StatusMessages' when $msg : StatusMessage( ) then // publish end In this case every StatusMessage would be send again and again. My first impression for a solution would be to define a Boolean field 'send' that signals if the object has been send. But the field would just be needed for Drools internal processing. So I thought of defining this additional field using the declare statement. But if I remember correctly from previous tries, such a things are not possible because the declare statement with the additional field is the definition of a new type... Am I right so far? Do you have a idea how I can solve my problem of sending an fact/event just once but keep it in the memory for further processing? Thank sou! Tina
