There appears to be a problem with CommandFactory.newStartProcess in Drools 5.2 M1. If I do this: String someString = "Some String"; Map<String, Object> variables = *new* HashMap<String, Object>(); variables.put("someString", someString); List<Command<?>> cmds = *new* ArrayList<Command<?>>(); cmds.add(CommandFactory.newStartProcess("SampleFlow", variables)); cmds.add(CommandFactory.*newFireAllRules*()); The default value for the someString variable in SampleFlow does NOT get updated. However, if I do this: String someString = "Some String"; Map<String, Object> variables = *new* HashMap<String, Object>(); variables.put("someString", someString); List<Command<?>> cmds = *new* ArrayList<Command<?>>(); StartProcessCommand cmd = *new* StartProcessCommand(); cmd.setProcessId("SampleFlow"); cmd.setParameters(variables); cmds.add(cmd); cmds.add(CommandFactory.*newFireAllRules*()); the someString variable does get updated. However, StartProcessCommand is not intended to be used (Discouraged Access), so I don’t want to use this solution. *Dan* _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users

I’ve attached an eclipse project that demonstrates the problem if you’d like to see it with your own eyes. Take a look at CmdStyleRuleFlowTest.java. *Dan* *From:* Mauricio Salatino [mailto:salaboy@gmail.com] *Sent:* Wednesday, March 16, 2011 4:28 PM *To:* Rules Users List *Cc:* Seaver, Daniel (GE Healthcare) *Subject:* Re: [rules-users] Problem with CommandFactory.newStartProcess in 5.2 M1 That's weird, I'm looking at the master repository and that's exactly what the newStartProcess do: public Command newStartProcess(String processId, Map<String, Object> parameters) { StartProcessCommand startProcess = new StartProcessCommand(); startProcess.setProcessId(processId); startProcess.setParameters((HashMap<String, Object>) parameters); return startProcess; } Let me check out the 5.2 M1 tag 2011/3/16 Seaver, Daniel (GE Healthcare) <dan.seaver(a)ge.com&gt; There appears to be a problem with CommandFactory.newStartProcess in Drools 5.2 M1.

Ok, I finally got setup to use git and look at the latest drools code. In that repository, the code for CommandFactory.newStartProcess looks like this:     public static Command newStartProcess(String processId,                                           Map<String, Object> parameters) {         return getCommandFactoryProvider().newStartProcess( processId );     } Apparently, there’s some discrepancy from the ‘master’ repository you’re looking at and the repository at github. I’m looking at:     droolsjbpm-knowledge/knowledge-api/src/main/java/org/drools/command/CommandFactory lines 254-257 Dan _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
