Not sure how much other rule engine like Drools, ILOG JRule etc. can help for 
creating a 'guided navigation' type of application. The basic reason, we might 
find with the JESS's farmer's dillema example, which is not available in 
Drools, ILOG JRules etc. 
 
Anyway, just for my curiosity, I was trying to modify the above example using 
Java POJO instead of defining the 'deftemplate', and 'deffacts' from inside the 
rule, and it is working fine as expected. Next step, I was trying to replicate 
the same using Drools and ILOG JRules; but as of my understanding with my 
limited knowledge, I simply cannot do it, because, Drools/ILOG JRules does not 
providing few important concepts, what JESS is providing from it's begining, 
like -- rule *auto-focus* as TRUE/FALSE concept. There are many more, still 
need to find. If there is any alterative to the above solution, please let me 
know. 
 
Happy New Year to everyone. Enjoy! :)

Am happy to hear. Jess was my first introduction to rules engines 4-5 years 
back but did not use it for a production system. Now we are looking to build a 
'guided navigation' type of app using Jess where the rules determine what steps 
does a user need to do. I am really excited to be able to use a rules engine 
for that type of application; I am sure many of you have built similar things. 
Will keep you posted on questions/findings/lessons.

Not having done real development for many years, I really enjoyed using the 
Jess shell (still v6, from the book) and actually build small prototypes with 
rules. 

Agree on the Drools making rules more accessible.

        -Perhaps a little, but not greatly. I will applaud Red Hat for
        exposing more and more people to rule engines through open source
        however.
        
        With that said, I think the many users of Jess stick with it due to
        it's maturity and 'rule engine features' as apposed to the convenient
        bundling of open source middle-ware. I have the feeling that many will
        get introduced to rule engines through Drools now, but when searching
        for something that gets the job done they will sway elsewhere.
        
        Lets not forget, even the Drools reference area (and JBoss Rules /
        Drools Developer Book) recommends you read:
        "Jess in Action: Java Rule-based Systems"
