I can see adding an overloaded updateObject() method that took a property name and just updated one property -- but that would still want to query the object for the property. I dislike the option of having a way to deliberately put the shadow fact out-of-sync with the object, especially as there's no guarantee that in some not-too-far-off version of Jess, the shadow fact will become "virtual" -- it won't really exist. Since you want to manage updates at a fine-grained level, you might consider not using definstances at all, and simply creating plain old facts with their slots populated by information extracted from the CORBA objects. --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Advanced Software Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
