Prabhu, The JSR you mention is JSR94 and has been in public review since September 2002. In any case, I am not sure we have to write the tool. We need to write the Jetspeed hooks to the personalization engine. A rule engine like Drools is on its way to JSR94 and should be able to be exposed to Jetspeed as a rule engine service (or whatever other rule engine, we could create a wrapper for the rules engine or really on the JSR94 api). The challenge I see is tiing the rules being deployed to their runtime lifecycle.
In many personalization engines, the initial rule template is created at development time and managed at runtime. At development time, you create a rule that say and tie it to some code, jsp tag lib, code, whatever: Show content to User X with Attribute Y and Z. At runtime, the business user changes this to: Show content to User in Group X with Attribute X1 and Z2. Now, we need to tie the two and maintain the relationship between runtime and deployment. Do you have experience with this. I think this is where the difficult part of the work is. Thoughts?
