Hello,I am using JBoss Rules to validate entities before storing them in the database. I therefore need a way to inform the calling code that the entity which was asserted failed verification. The only way I have been able to find that works is to assert an exception from within the rule file. For example: rule "user is 'miked'" when identity : Identity( username == "miked" ) then assertLogical(new IllegalStateException("Entity failed verification.")); end Then in the Java that fires the rule, I have: workingMemory.fireAllRules(); for(Iterator i = workingMemory.getObjects(Exception.class).iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) { System.out.println("Exception: "+i.next()); } Which seems to be working OK. But I wanted to see if maybe there is a better way to accomplish what I need. Thanks for you help. Mike
My approach would be to derive all objects that will be validated from a superclass, e.g. ValidatedObject, which provides a boolean property "validated". Then you can set this property in your rules and later on display warning/error messages for those objects that failed validation.
