We are in the middle of looking at Jess for use in an in-house embedded application. One of the things that I am trying to get working is a way to integrate the jess .clp files that we are creating into our build system. In particular we want to be able to validate the syntax of a jess file without "running" it.
Ie, we have a custom ant task that will parse each of the .clp files found in the codebase via Jesp.parse(). Our problem is that this seems to be almost the same as using Rete.batch(). Our goal is to be able to "parse" the files to confirm they are "correct" from a syntax point of view at compile time instead of the runtime of the application. I have poked around the Java API for jess but just haven't been able to find anything. Does anyone out there have any suggestions or perhaps a different way to skin this?
