Okie dokie...
Today, I think I'm going to werk on drools some, particularly the Java Semantic Module. An adjunct to that would be a java-centric 'rules file' format. I'm thinking, though, that the action of a rule still should be compiled code, at this point. Thus, I'm pondering a format like this: <rule name="my rule"> <root-object name="thingy">com.myco.Thingy</root-object> <root-object name="stuff">com.myco.Stuff</root-object> <declaration name="localdecl">java.lang.String</declaration> <condition> name = thingy.getName() </condition> <condition> name = stuff.getName() </condition> <action>com.myco.actions.MyAction</action> </rule> That is, using XML (because its cheap'n'easy to parse), you specify your rule-set and rules, along with the root fact objects, local declarations, and conditions. The action is merely a reference to a class that implements org.drools.spi.Action. Yea? Nay? -bob _______________________________________________ drools-interest mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/drools-interest
