[rules-users] replace session clock at runtime

[Alexander Wolf]

[SOLUTION]

I found a "solution/workaround" to this problem: 
I create the session with JPAKnowledgeService.newStatefulKnowledgeSession() and pseudo clock in configuration, feed in my old events -> and store the session it a database.
When retrieving the session, I  can set realtime clock in the configuration with JPAKnowledgeService.loadStatefulKnowledgeSession().

As I am not really interested in storing the sessions, I use an in-memory db like in the documentation (3.3.10. Persistence and Transactions)

@Project Team:
The documentation (Chapter 3.3.10 / Drools 5.5.0) is really outdated, e.g.  the package references in persistence.xml are not correct any more . 
Also it seems to be a full example, but missing location of files (where to put persistence.xml) and information about general configuration of hibernate and bitronix. (I can see why you omitted it, but it would be helpful)

I also don't get why it is impossible to do the same with the SerializeMarshallingStrategy -> I am pretty sure that the UnMarshaller also internally sets a new clock configuration and it would be a great feature, if this could be exposed to let developers set their own clock as required.

Cheers, Alex
