Sorry to be obtuse, but does that mean:
a) Drools already does this or
Yes. AFAIK drools already is JSR 94 compliant and has the basics of a JCA connector implementation (which may need some work).
b) It might be interesting to enable drools to run with Geronimo?
Or to say that another way, we should try embedding drools into Geronimo, either as MBeans or as a JCA connector. I can imagine there's some work required to cleanly integrate the two - if you fancy diving in and helping. Then we could start using rules to manage Geronimo itself which would be really cool.
This is something that I have thought a little bit about.
Tuning an appserver is a nightmare. I want a Geronimo cluster to be self-organising, self-healing and self-tuning ! A rules-based tuning mechanism might be the next natural step to take on top of current management standards. We just have to make sure that Geronimo components expose enough information that a rules based administrator could get a good grip on them...
