10,000 business rules should automatically qualify your project for a rules based solution and as far as rules based solutions go I haven't run into anything better than Jess. That's especially true as you have decided to use Java.
Your rule
"if all of the planes were unmanned then field x must be equal to 'q'"would probably go more like.
x=q;
if any plane not unmanned x= something else (not q);
That's obviously not the correct syntax, just an idea.
Another good news is, Jess in Action: Java Rule-Based Systems is supposed to be out soon.
Good luck.

I have a project that has roughly 10,000 business rules. Another major factor is that there are 13 programmers (not including myself) and I am the only one that has ever programmed in Java. The powers that be have decided that we are going to write the entire program in Java. There are some very good reasons for this decisions that I won't go into right now.My question is, would JESS be a good solution for all of these rules. I haven't really gotten a good handle on exactly what is required to use Jess. Is this something that I would be able to give a statement like "if all of the planes were unmanned then field x must be equal to 'q'"? Or is it something that I would actually have to program that statement? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
