I am sponsoring this familiarity case for Vivek Titarmare. It requests minor
binding and times out 02/18/2009. This Fast Track represents a component of
LSARC 2008/748 - Drools.
The FOSS checklist, man page and javadoc are in the case directory and
the checklist and man page are attached.

2. Project Summary
2.1 Project Description
Java runtime API for rule engines.
4. Technical Description:
The interfaces and classes defined by the specification are in the
javax.rules and javax.rules.admin packages. The javax.rules package contains
classes and interfaces that are aimed at runtime clients of the rule engine.
The runtime client API exposes methods to acquire a rule session for a
registered rule execution set and interact with the rule session. The
administrator API exposes methods to load an execution set from these external
resources:URI, InputStream, XML Element, binary abstract syntax tree, or
Reader. The administrator API also provides methods to register and unregister
rule execution sets. Only registered rule execution sets are accessible through
the runtime client API. A packaging separation between the runtime client API
and the administrator API was made to reinforce the distinction between
executing a rule execution set that has been previously loaded and registered
into the runtime environment by an administrator, and the dynamic loading and
execution!
of external resources. The later actions can only be performed using the
classes and interfaces in the javax.rules.admin package.

2.0 Project Summary
2.1 Project Description
Java runtime API for rule engines.
This case is a dependency for LSARC 2008/748 - Drools. Drools is a
