Thanks.
 
What I've done is add an insertOrUpdate method on a util class we use.
How efficient is getFactHandle?  Is it a simple HashMap lookup?  Or
would we be better off keeping our own map of handles->facts?

public static FactHandle insertOrUpdate(Object fact, boolean dynamic) {
        FactHandle factHandle = workingMemory.getFactHandle(fact);
        if (factHandle == null) {
                return workingMemory.insert(fact, dynamic);
        }
        workingMemory.update(factHandle, fact);
        return factHandle;
}

handle



   Nope. You must use the update method. You can get the previous fact
handle using the get method in working memory if you still have the
original non-modified object, or if behavior is equals based, using an
equals object.

2008/5/30 Fenderbosch, Eric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


        Is it required to use WorkingMemory.update to update an existing
fact?
        I thought if assert behavior was set to equality and you
implemented the
        equals method properly, then you could simply use
WorkingMemory.insert
        to overwrite a fact in working memory with a new version.  If
this isn't
        the case, then are there other settings that will give this
behavior?
        
        I'm using 4.0.7.
        
        Thanks for any help.

        My TestFact class:
        
        public class TestFact {
        
               private String id;
               private String value;
        
               public String getId() {

                       this.id = id;
               }
        
               public String getValue() {
                       return value;
               }
        
               public void setValue(String value) {
                       this.value = value;
               }
        
               @Override
               public int hashCode() {
                       return id.hashCode();
               }
        
               @Override
               public boolean equals(Object obj) {
                       if (this == obj) return true;
                       if (!(obj instanceof TestFact)) return false;
                       TestFact other = (TestFact) obj;
                       // not null safe, i know
                       return this.id.equals(other.id);
               }
        }
        
        And the JUnit Test Case that fails:
               public void testFactUpdate() throws Exception {
                       TestFact testFact = new TestFact();
                       testFact.setId("1234");
                       testFact.setValue("old");
        
                       FactHandle testFactHandle =
        workingMemory.insert(testFact);
        
                       TestFact updatedFact = new TestFact();
                       updatedFact.setId("1234");
                       updatedFact.setValue("new");
        
                       FactHandle updatedFactHandle =
        workingMemory.insert(updatedFact);
                       // using workingMemory.update here works
        
                       // passes
                       assertTrue(testFactHandle == updatedFactHandle);
        
                       TestFact retrievedTestFact = (TestFact)
        workingMemory.getObject(testFactHandle);
                       // fails
                       assertEquals("new",
retrievedTestFact.getValue());
               }
