An XML semantic module has been long planned (and existed in earlier
betas).
The problem is if we do XPath conditions, while Jaxen(.org) can
handle most any DOM, it has to know what kind of DOM you are using.
Ideally, I'd want all of these to work:
assertObject( domDoc )
assertObject( dom4jDoc )
assertObject( jdomDoc )
assertObject( xomDoc )
assertObject( javabean )

I'd also like to hear opinions about this, but you might consider the
possibility of using a binding framework like XMLBeans, so your
conditions and actions can just use plain Java code.

Subject: [spam]::[drools-user] Applying rules to an xml document
I would like to achieve the following
Assert a single xml document to working memory and fire a rule
base against the doc, the rule base will consist of a number of rules
that govern the behaviour of different parts of the doc.
Can anyone give me some pointers on how I should assert the doc
to working memory, i.e. is it a good idea to assert a single fact or
break the xml doc down into a number of separate facts; and how I
target
individual elements of the doc, I would naturally lean towards using
xpath to address specific elements of the doc.
