For beans that support PropertyChangeListeners, when you call "modify"
Jess sets the property directly in the JavaBean. The corresponding
fact is modified when the PropertyChangeEvent comes in. What's
happening here is that Jess is calling setData(), which then (wrongly)
sends out a property change event for a property named "FactChanged ".
There's no such property, so Jess just ignores the event. The
acceptable values for the property name are "data" (the actual name of
the property) or null (in which case Jess will check all properties.)
But if you use anything else, your event will be ignored, your shadow
fact will never be updated, and then of course you'll never get the
JessEvent.

Hi,
My goal is to capture fact modification events for shadow facts.
I have a Java class which I use to create a def template:
(import FactChanged)
(deftemplate FactChanged
(declared (from-class FactChanged)
(include-variables TRUE)))
I define the following to capture fact modification events:
(deffunction display-fact-modified-from-event (?evt)
(bind ?ets (?evt toString))
(bind ?et (?evt getType))
(bind ?et1 (get ?evt type))
(if (eq ((bit-or (JessEvent.FACT) (JessEvent.MODIFIED)) (get ?
evt type)) then
(printout t "modified fact:" (call (call ?evt getObject)
getName) crlf))))
; install the above function using a JessEventAdapter
(call (engine) addJessListener
(new JessEventAdapter display-fact-modified-from-event (engine)))
; add FACT|MODIFIED to the event mask
(set (engine) eventMask
(bit-or (get (engine) eventMask) (JessEvent.MODIFIED)
(JessEvent.FACT)))
I add a new Java object
; create a new instance of FactChanged
(bind ?data (new FactChanged))
(add ?data)
I then get the shadow fact and modify it
(bind ?datafact (call (engine) getShadowFactForObject ?data))
(modify ?datafact (data "Once Upon A Time"))
I expected to receive an event for fact modified but did not receive.
Using JessDE to look at the event type I saw 16, which is
JessEvent.Fact.
I can capture fact assertions but not fact modifications.
This seems to be related to the fact being a shadow fact instead of
a regular fact.
The java class is simple:
public class FactChanged implements Serializable {
private PropertyChangeSupport pcs = new
PropertyChangeSupport(this);
public String data;
public FactChanged () {
data = "original";
}
public String getData() {
return data;
}
public void setData(String data) {
String oldData = this.data;
this.data = data;
pcs.firePropertyChange("FactChanged ", oldData, data);
System.out.println("DataChanged occurred");
}
public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener
pcl) {
pcs.addPropertyChangeListener(pcl);
}
public void
removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener pcl) {
pcs.removePropertyChangeListener(pcl);
}
}
Any help will be appreciated.
Son Nguyen.
