I'm a bit confused by your statement: " We will need our own set of GUI functions actualy running in a servlet
environment." This doesn't seem to make sense (GUI functions running in a servlet environment?). To address the portion of you posting that I think I do understand, I'll discuss the issue of using Jess within a GUI based java application. In addition to referencing the examples in the JIA (Jess In Action book), let me say that we have built a thick-client GUI application using the Eclipse RCP platform with Jess running smoothly beneath the covers. It all came off without a hitch (...so far, anyway ;)). If you are more interested in a Swing based GUI (as opposed to SWT, IBM's equivalent of Swing), this won't be a problem either. FWIW, I'm currently investigating the use of Jess as the Controller in our thick-client MVC architecture. This allows us to have our form validation logic codified as rules. This may be overkill for simple forms, but we are developing a powerful data-entry grid (spreadsheet) with interdependent cells and dynamically updated views. Change data in a single cell in the grid and Jess takes care of grid validation and updating the Model or any other related views (our current spaghetti validation logic is killing us). My main concern is performance, which is why I am "investigating", but based on my past experience with Jess, I'm feeling optimistic. -Mitch -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edzard de Buhr Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 5:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JESS: JESS Offline Environment Dear Jess Users, to allow the use of Jess expert systems without internet access I need Jess as simple Java application with GUI. We will need our own set of GUI functions actualy running in a servlet environment. What is the best base for an implementation?
