Hi, In Jess 7.0b3, the default for definstance type changed from "dynamic" to "auto". If you specified "dynamic" as the last argument to definstance, then Jess would try to register itself with your Bean as a PropertyChangeListener; this used to be the default, so that you had to write "static" if you didn't want this behavior. The new default is "auto". In this case, Jess looks at the Bean to see if it accepts PropertyChangeListeners and only registers itself if the Bean does, indeed, accept them.
Jess's current definition of "indeed accepts them" is that the following two methods exist with these exact signatures: public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener); public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener); So if this worked for you in "dynamic" mode, my guess is that your Beans don't have the "removePropertyChangeListener" method. The right thing to do is add it, but a band-aid would be to say (definstance block ?g dynamic) This will work until you try "undefinstance" which, of course, won't work (it never did.) If I've guessed wrong, and it's something else, let me know, please!
