When configurations start getting complex, I've often started looking at rules patterns, especially if the rules tend to change. Short of going to a rules engine, I've came across an implementation by Paul Corazza of some rule patterns that were documented by Ali Arsanjani. http://www.javaworld.com/jw-03-2000/jw-0324-ifthenelse.html http://www.javaworld.com/jw-04-2000/jw-0428-ifthenelse2.html http://www.javaworld.com/jw-06-2000/jw-0630-ifthenelse3.html Of course, there is the pattern itself: "A Pattern Language for Adaptive and Scalable Business Rule Construction," which can be found at: http://www.cbdiforum.com/patterns/ In answering your core question, these resources don't provide any configuration framework for loading the rules. I built one during one of my projects that uses XML to build a configuration object model, but an easier framework can be found at the Apache Commons web site: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-10-2002/jw-1025-opensourceprofile.html http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester.html Hope this helps, Phillip. --- You are currently subscribed to jdjlist as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sys-con.com/fusetalk
