Interface FactType
-
- All Superinterfaces:
Externalizable
,Serializable
public interface FactType extends Externalizable
FactType declarations are fact definitions (like classes) that are managed alongside the rules. You then communicate with the KieBase by using instances created by this. There are utility set and get methods on this, as well as in the FactFields. The Object that is used is a javabean (which was generated by the engine). You can also use reflection on it as normal.
