Re: [rules-users] how to update object modified by call to remote web service

Thank you for the thorough explanation. Now that I understand what the RHS syntax can (and cannot) do, I am taking option 4 which is to revise the RMI call, and modify the fact within the rule rather than within the remote method. my rule now looks like this: $instruction = applicationService.applyInstruction($step); // call now returns an instruction $step.setCurrentInstruction($instruction); // set the step's instruction locally in the rule I'll keep your other options in mind if we have a more complex RMI to handle, but for this situation, the above code works and is easy to understand & maintain. thanks again L. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/how-to-update-object-modified-by-call-t...
