Speaking of which :-) when is the 2nd edition of "Jess In Action"
coming out? Giarratano and Riley are now into their FOURTH edition
since first edition came out in 1989. I "think" I have all three
somewhere - the older ones probably in boxes somewhere but the 3rd
edition is pretty well marked up for teaching CLIPS and/or Jess.
Unfortunately, Jess and CLIPS seem to be diverging and now I need a
new book to teach Jess rather than have to come up with one on my
own. It's bad enough to have to do hundreds of overheads for a class
when teaching from the book. (The overheads are just to keep the
student focused on the front of the room - me - when teaching since
the subject is necessarily difficult for most of them.) Anyway, just
wondering...

Ridiculous question. I have a Bean in Java. I want to have Jess

and move the values from Java, but this is not ideal.
In Jess 7, you can use Rete.add(), which automatically creates the
template if needed and adds the object to working memory. In Jess 6
-- or if you want to choose your own template name rather than using
the class name -- you can use the Rete.defclass() and
Rete.definstance() methods.
The manual section concerning templates, facts, and Java objects in
working memory has been completely rewritten for the next release -- I
hope it will make this stuff easier to learn and use.
