My 2c... Who's to say that Drools is not a good fit?
I see any Rules Engine as a means to externalise rules; whether they are maintained by Users or IT. Of course the overhead of introducing another technology to an applications code-base needs to be balanced with many other factors: skillset, memory consumption etc even frequency of change. If the application in question is pretty static in its requirements for UI-centric rules; a good implementation of the Mediator pattern may prove more beneficial.
