Hi Jonathan, I used the mysql connector for java (google), managed the interaction with the database through an external java program that used the connector's facilities. The program created a Rete instance and passed the database details in as facts. I extended the jess Userfunction class to create functions which did data entry 'direct' frome the Rete instance to the mysql database.... these were called as the consequent (RHS) of the rules.
Email me if that was a bit obscure... I am rushing.

(http://www.csd.abdn.ac.uk/teaching/levelfour/) I was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers with regards to using MySQL with JESS. Basically I am aiming to code a Farm Monitoring System which is based around a MySQL DB of animal data on a Web Server along with a set of JESS rules, such as if a calf becomes old enough to be weaned from its mother do something e.g. call send_email.php to email the farmer. (This could be done by getting the actual date/time and then getting the D.O.B. of the calf from the DB.) I wanted to use a JESS rulebase with a MySQL DB for the deffacts but I am unsure of how this will work. Is it at all plausible?
