ILOG JRules User Guide > Creating Rule Projects > Tasks > Working With Business Elements > Notifying the Rule Engine of Object Updates

If you want the rule engine to be notified when a method changes the state of an object, ruleset parameter, or ruleset variable when rules are executed with the RetePlus execution mode, you can specify which methods need to trigger a notification.

To specify the methods that can trigger updates:

  1. In the Outline view, click the method you want to specify.
  2. On the Member page of the BOM Editor, in the General Information section, select the box Update object state box.
  3. Save the BOM entry.
  4. Now when you execute rules with the RetePlus execution mode the rule engine will be notified of changes made by this method on ruleset parameters, ruleset variables, or objects.
