Re: [rules-users] Problem using 'not contains'
I would be intrested in the "how does Drools manage its knowledge of
changes to Collections embedded in fact objects" question as well.
That caused some headache earlier this year we never got to the bottom
of the behaviour and in the end worked around it in not-so-elegant ways.

This is in Drools 4.0.7
I have a class called SatManager with a field:
ArrayList<Satellite> listOfOverheadSats
That has an appropriate getter method.
I have a relatively simple rule that goes something like this:
when
$sat : Satellite(isOverhead == true)
$sm : SatManager($ls : listOfOverheadSats not contains $sat)
then
$ls.add($sat);
My problem is that Drools doesn't understand that the ArrayList has
been modified, therefore this rule always fires on the same
satellite if the sat object changes in any other way.
I've tried adding:
update($sm);
To the consequence, but that only caused the rule to re-fire
infinitely -- even with the no-loop keyword applied.
So my question is how does Drools manage its knowledge of changes to
Collections embedded in fact objects? The documention for the
'contains/not contains' keyword did not explain this.
I'm really stumped here.
