JESS: Thread question

[Raj Ganesan]

Jess experts:   How do I know if Jess has completed a scan of all the rules in its knowledge base? I am trying to build a command-response framework, where the commands are (short-lived) beans that are instantiated prior to a Jess run(), and then are released after the results are obtained. I'm trying to figure out if there is some way I can tell if Jess is "done" (perhaps set a field in the bean itself).   Specifically, I want to know if the following design/pseudocode will work:   public class RuleEngine extends Thread {     private Rete rete;     public RuleEngine()     {           rete = new Rete();          rete.addUserpackage(new MiscFunctions());           rete.addUserpackage(new jess.ReflectFunctions());         // Read in the rules           rete.executeCommand("(clear)");           rete.executeCommand("(batch sample.clp)");     }     public void run()     {          // create bean instance         Funcall f = new Funcall("definstance", rete);              f.add(new Value("Command", RU.ATOM));          f.add(new Value(command));         // code to "lock" the bean          rete.executeCommand("(reset)");          rete.executeCommand("(run)");         // code to release this instance         // code to "unlock" bean         {             sleep for some time         }         } }
