Well, that's one of the reasons why JessML exists, because you can use any parser you like and whatever XML tools you have at your disposal to work with the results. As far as APIs for building rules: there was a recent humorous bit about rule engine APIs for creating actual rules at The Daily WTF just the other day; it's here: http://www.thedailywtf.com/forums/68489/ShowPost.aspx Jess won't be getting an API like this; it's just silly. If you want one, build XML with the DOM. --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Advanced Software Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
