The only thing here that's clearly wrong is the equals() method -- you can't (generally) compare Strings with equals -- you want to use the equals() method instead. But otherwise from Jess's perspective I think things should be fine.

How are you adding the objects to working memory? Using "add" or "definstance"? Can I see that line of code?

When I call firePropertyChange from my Java object after setting an attribute the working memory of my engine is not updated. I know this because I loop through the facts before and after the setting of the attribute, and "round" is set to "0" both times.

My Java and Jess code is below (if you're wondering why I have a class just to wrap an int and string, it's to tie into some 3rd party code I don't have control over). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
