Is it possible to inherit the RuleProxy class to be able to override getRuleName method ?

[sverin]

Since the RuleProxy class has a private constructor there is no way that I can inherit and override that class. There are a reason for that I'm sure. But I would like to override the method getRuleName and only that method.

I can do my own implementation of the proxy by copying it and just change that method. That works since I tried it. But there is a lot of code to copy just for one small change. Is there a better way that this can be accomplished ?

The issue I had was that I could have multiple instances of the same rule but with different values. For example I have multiple price rules saved in a db. But only one PriceRule class. But their properties defines if it evaluates to true. The normal Rules class had a TreeSet implemented and then only one rule instance got registered since they hade the same rule name defined in the annotation. However, by extending the Rules class and using an ArrayList I achieved what I wanted.

@sverin hi, let's make it simple.

• a rule has a unique name when it was born (defined)
• a rule should not be changed after evaluating or execute
• facts can be changed(add, delete, update) on running state
