I don't think too many projects are using JessML yet, although I expect that many will after the final release. The specifics of the JessML language have still been changing a bit. Those installations that don't store rules in flat files often use Jess language rules stored in a VARCHAR column in a database. I know of many systems of this type. > > as far as facts are concerned, do y'all just store them in plain text files? > i also noticed that the Rete object is serializable, is this feature used > often? Most large applications use Java objects rather than native Jess facts, and those objects are stored in the usual ways, independent of Jess. But flat files (as are produced by "save-facts") work well for plain facts. Rete's serializability is used by the bload/bsave commands, and it's also used by some "mobile agent" frameworks. In a few cases it's been used for web app clustering, although I think a Rete object is somewhat heavyweight to be put into a session. --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Advanced Software Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
