Sorry, didn't know where else to post this message about using Drools...  
Please help me decide if Drools rules engine would work for us.  

We are designing a system that will process multitude of events from various 
systems (with MQ and JMS on WebSphere server).  These events represent shipment 
notifications with attributes such as clientID, location, package#, date, time, 
weight, etc -  there are lots of events (about 100+ per minute).  We need to 
scrutinize each event that comes to us and look for potential subscribers - 
that is, parties that want to be notified of an event given a set of conditions 
they define.  Customer can define multiple  complex rules:  i.e.  notify me 
when my containers reach location SFC or STL for a given package# range and 
date combination... etc.  The system needs to compare each event to these 
customer-defined rules to see if a Match is found.  I believe the result of 
comparing Rules to Facts should result in either ONE or ZERO matches ...

If a match DOES exist, then do something:  return True, fire another Event, OR 
invoke jBPM process flow (ideally).

Does it sound like Drools could do this type of pattern matching for us - and 
if so, could it do it efficiently?
