Hi Vikrant. In the version 4 - no the security was basically only around authentication (so you either had access or you didn't). Now in the upcoming 5 version (I don't think this was in M1, but will be in M2): http://blog.athico.com/2008/08/product-update-guvnor-security.html This allows fine

Vikram - I am making the assumption that on the RHS of a rule you want to kick off a rule process. If this is the case, then in 4.0.x here is now way to do that with the rule model stuff. In 5, it is possible (as you can put an arbitrary expression on the RHS and it will render it out). On Fri,

Hi Vikrant. well the drools-guvnor/ doesn't use a filter so much as it is default web.xml behaviour - you can specify a welcome page, which it goes to when the root path is supplied. If Websphere 6.1 can't even do that - I would say something is seriously wrong (may be a bad install?) - you could

Hi all. Yes in 5 - there is webdav and a (limited) rest API - the rest API isn't really well known or used yet, but the WebDAV one is. Later on, we will be adding rest + atom pub interface - the atompub means you can put metadata (eg categories, comments) remotely in the BRMS, but at the

2008-10-02 Thread Michael Neale
BRMS is more of a design time feature - what you are talking is logging an audit trail of rules execution - you can do that with event listeners in your code (so your rules don't even have to be aware of it) then as rules fire, you can grab the details (from the listener APIs) and log it as you

at this stage I don't think this is possible. The rules debugging doesn't (AFAIK) implement the java debug protocol: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jpda/jdwp-spec.html which is what allows remote debugging (generally). So you have 2 options: 1) (obvious !) reproduce it in process 2)
