Hello!
The watch function is realy helpful for debugging. But not when I
use Java Objects.
Is it possible to get teh value of the toSting() method instead of
the object type?
Not presently, no. That's just what jess.Value.toString() returns
when the Value is a JAVA_OBJECT type. This same routine is used in
many places in Jess.
If Value.toString() returned the result of calling toString() on the
object, then although that would be nice in some places, it would be
confusing in others, for example when toString() returned something
that looked like a primitive type. Further, Jess relies on this
String being invalid XML and being an unparseable token in Jess to
prevent weird errors if someone tries to write Java objects out as
XML, or call save-facts on them.
Anyway, this has been brought up before; it just hasn't gotten high
enough up in the queue for anyone to design a complete solution.
