I'd like to add two sub projects to Drools to enable better spring and guice support - especially now we have the RuleAgent. Any volunteers for this? I'd like to try and standardise, as much as possible, how Drools works and integrates with IoC containers.

Ultimiately the integration should be quite lightweight - mostly about creating rulebases and working memory and probably the scoping and caching of these. I guess you could also have some life cycle management about objects themselves and auto assertion/retraction to named working memories. We'd need to define a set of agreed annotations to define these things, that would work across containers. I believe the JBoss MC people have done some work in this area, I have cc'd to see if they have any input or documentation pointers.

The core dev team don't have the time and aren't spring/guice specialists - so anyone willing to take this up? If we can get reasonable implementations we will add them to subversion (and the authors commit rights), and make part of the next release - assuming they are of good enough quality.

So any takers, maybe we could atleast start at defining what this level of integration should look like?

Mark
