Thanks for answering my question, it does clear up a lot of my confusion. I know that Jess can do much more than when using the javax.rules API. However, the reason why we wanted to use the API is so that my program will not overly rely on a specific rule engine and if anything happens to the rule engine side, at least the interfaces with other classes will not be affected and recoding will not be necessary at all. Besides, parsing of rules, firing rules and other simple actions are already sufficient for my program... With that in view, will i be able to use the RI to create similar examples like those samples you've provided? If yes, how can it be done? any examples? I've learnt from other threads in the mailing list that, to input the rulesets, it has to be XML file? How do we create such a file?
