[rules-users] Drools Planner: entity was never added to this ScoreDirector?

Fri May 4 22:35:28 EDT 2012

yeah, i have a solutionEquals() and solutionHashCode() as well. I tried dumping my hashCode() and equals() methods on the PlanningEntity but that didn't seem to have much effect.  My hashCode() and solutionHashCode() values now both change when I assign a different supplier, but planner still can't seem to find the entity in working memory.

> First, some background:
> The solution class is 'Schedule' and the PlanningEntity is 'Meeting'. Meetings consist of timeslots (or 'slots'), and two participants in complimentary roles 'planners' and 'suppliers'. Since there are more planners than suppliers, I've structured the Schedule model so that its meeting collection is basically the cross-product of slots and planners. Suppliers are configured as the @PlanningVariable in a meeting. The meeting list in the schedule is also annotated as a @PlanningEntityCollectionProperty. I've structured three MoveFactories that add, subtract or swap suppliers from meeting to meeting.

I'm using commons HashCodeBuilder and EqualsBuilder to check only the fixed slot and planner values. The solutionHashCode changes based on the slot, planner and supplier-- supplier being the @PlanningVariable. I've pasted the full log, with trace enabled, here for review:
