Hi all,

We recently implemented Drools in a mortgage application process. The primary 
task of the business rule engine was to determine the fraud risk of an 
application. The application is delivered in XML format. We noticed that we 
were implementing a lot of data manipulation actions in the drl file itself. 
For example, the calculation of total income by calculating the sum of a number 
of elements or calculating the distance between two geo-locations based on zip 
codes. The actual evaluation rules acted on this 'derived' information.

When looking back the drl file contained a lot of code and looked pretty 
complicated compared to the actual evaluation rules. My question is, what is 
your opinion on data manipulation or transformation within the drl file? If the 
drl file is not the best place for this, what would you suggest for data 
manipulation?

Thanks,
Betto
