Re: [rules-users] Moving from Jrules to Drools a couple of Issues

Thanks Mark, very helpful. 

I'm about to set up a Proof of concept so I'll try it out. Due to the
relatively complex nature of our ruleflows and the fact that many rules can
be used by many transaction types Drools Flow sounds like it will have to be
the way to go. I'm out about to dig out the flow manual;-)

Re: [rules-users] Moving from Jrules to Drools a couple of Issues

2010-05-27 Thread paulnnosh

I Just need clarification on the injection of POJOs to give access to
application services etc...

I understand the fact that POJOs inserted into the working memory are direct
references to the actual objects inserted by the calling application, that's
great. However, currently in Jrules (sorry to keep telling you what we have
already!) a number of our functions make regualr use of a large number of
our core application classes. To have to insert all of these each time a
ruleset is called would soon become unwieldy and I have concerns about the
amount of working memory that would be required. Is it possible to create a
reference to my application and initilise this at the start up of the server
so that these classes are available to my packages without having to load
them into WM each time?

Many Thanks

[rules-users] Moving from Jrules to Drools a couple of Issues

2010-05-26 Thread paulnnosh

Hi Chaps,

We currently use Jrules 5 and are looking at our options going forward. We
are going to evaluate Drools alongside some other products. So far I like
the look of Drools but there are a couple of things that are puzzling me...

- In our Jrules implementation our BOM/XOM exposes some of our application
logic so that our rules can access application code and services to make
decisions and updates where necessary. I can't see how this is possible in
Drools.

- Our ruleflows use decision tables to define which rules will run dependant
upon the transaction type received. This makes assigning a rule to a single
ruleflow group inappropriate as one rule could be used by many different
transactions. Is it possible to create an ArrayList of rules and execute
them one at a time via ruleflow action node?

Many Thanks
