RE: (ROSE) any better way to deal with business rules

[Yakov, Debby]

Walter, or anyone else out there, can you elaborate on this "metamodel"?  What you've said here sounds very much like what I'm going to try to do in the next phase of my project, in terms of letting users define parameters for a system on the fly and then generating a system that executes under those parameters (say, stored in a config file). Change the parameters and the system runs under a different "policy".    I'm a bit vague on OCL, and you didn't address it in your response. Would OCL help here? Is there an OCL parser that can be invoked from the REI to help an Add-In capture the OCL created by the user?   Thanks -- Debby -----Original Message----- From: Walter Howard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 2:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: (ROSE) any better way to deal with business rules Instead of trying to model a dynamic environment with static structures, you could create a meta-model where the business rules could be defined on the fly by the users.  The rules entered by the users would then define the functionality of the application.  This works great for inventory and telecom plan types applications.

I wonder if anyone has any experience on how to model the business rules, like FCC regulations and  network device/protocol compatibility checking. We also hope to use OCL to specify these rules in use case diagrams or class disgrams, and be able to generate Java/XML code to enforce them. Suggestions will be much appreciated.
