Edson/Wolfgang: Thank you very much for your inputs. Agree on the evaluation criteria - that the list of questions can be long and deep - and to be honest, I am not sure what those might be. Clearly, the approach to the ecosystem, support model and costs, skills sets etc. all play a role in

May I suggest you take a look at Tohu? http://community.jboss.org/wiki/Tohu It is a small framework to do, it seems, exactly what you described. It is built on top of Drools, but even if you prefer to write your own framework on top of Jess, it can probably give you ideas for your own
