Now that I'm playing with the dom4j example more, I'm starting to see
the possibilities.
...Build on top of JMS, and have an XML router that accepts documents,
and publishes them to different topics based upon their root elements,
and values of attributes and/or elements.
...Build an agent that accepts requests and resources, and matches
them together. (ie, a request for articles written by bob, and
when an article written by bob appears, send bob lots of money.)
...Build an event-handler, so that documents (ie, events) get
aggregated, and when a certain set of events has occured, do
something amazing. (ie, you've gotten 3 end-of-day reports
showing that you're exceeding your sales quota, so generate
a PO for some Fine Scotch.)
Man, this is just too cool.
Things to work on to make it even cooler...
... Time-based conditions (still pondering how)
... Full Java Semantic Module
... Higher-level API into the Java and XML semantics
... Rete-OO optimizations (I've got to invent those)
Anyhow, sync it down, and get on the bleeding edge of rules engines.
