Why couldn't the object itself know when the due date has passed? If you kept calling fireAllRules periodically in a thread, and had a rule like:
when Order (dueDatePassed == true) then // do something end Then you just need a isDueDatePassed method in the Order object, which itself compares the due date to the current time. On 1/13/07, Faizan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
As i understand the rules get fired on a fact/object when it is modified and the workingMemory is notified of the change. I have a requirement where one attribute of a fact is time based (due date of an Order object) which is a static field but i need to run a thread that periodically compares the current date with this attribute so that i can fire a rule when the system date matches with the due date. Now since the object is not modified simply calling fireAllRules() by this thread is not working for me. A workaround that i have is to retract and assert (or modify) that object everytime that thread calls fireAllRules() but in that case i need to call modify on all Order objects lying in the working memory. Is there any better way to achieve this? thanks, Faizan -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-get-a-rule-fired-when-the-object-is-not-changed--tf2970664.html#a8312507 Sent from the drools - user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
