[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-1165) StatelessSession does not have the ability to set globals.

Mark Proctor commented on JBRULES-1165:
---------------------------------------

after thinking some more on this, for stateless sessions I think the only way is for people to "export" globals that can be retrieved in the statefulsessionresults. Where this is another hashmap, that is populated by the user instruction. you'd have to provide an array of identifiers.

so something like
session.exportGlobalsAsResults( new String[] { "list", "people" } );

then on results they can do
results.getGlobal("list")

Now the proper global resolver and the results may still point to the same instance, not sure how we can get around that for now (would require users to explicitly ask stuff to be cloned), but its a good compromise for now. If the main global resolver gets reset, the resutl's stay the same. Actually this makes me think that the StatelessSessionResults shouldn't reference the working memory itself, but maybe just the assertMap....

> Most likely an oversight. However, to keep the stateless nature of the API - there isn't another way to do this other then add more methods to the interface, unfortunately.
