Hi,

Initially we had used XStream when persisting. This we did because of 
simplicity. Now we want to persist it in a format recognized by Drools runtime. 
Hence use of package decisiontables.model (in its current form) should be the 
ideal start.

When reading a DRL file is there a method which will populate this object 
structure? I can see something similar for reading XLS but not a DRL file.

Other than org.drools.decisiontables.model package I can see other 'similar' 
objects (Ruleset, Rule, ApplicationData etc.) in org.drools.rule package. I 
could not find toXML (or something similar) in this package though. I saw 
RuleSetReader which reads an input source and returns the 
org.drools.rule.Ruleset object.

I understand that the ability to read and also write to DRL format may not be a 
feature of the rule engine per se. But I currently see that this feature is 
available as 2 different parts in 2 different packages. Maybe I will write a 
class which will read org.drools.rule.Ruleset and make an XML on the similar 
lines of org.drools.decisiontables.model.Ruleset class :-).

Is this understanding correct or am I missing something here?

Thanks.
Regards,
- Nimesh

Re org.drools.decisiontables.model... won't be changing much - as that
would mean more work for me ! Aim is to keep up with drools features.

Sounds like if you are already on the way with XStream, you have a few
ideas up your sleeve. Just let us know how you get on.
