Mark,

Thank you for your help with my questions. We have implemented three
manufacturing modules using drools. One converts one part number to another (OEM
part <-> "real" part). The second manipulates the bill of material based on
customer requirements. The third drives a dynamic part drawing using a cad back
end. 

The drools rules look so much easier to maintain than the java code it replaces.

We are pre-processing the files to detect duplicate rule names. For our
application it was simpler than the AOP option.

Regards,

Jared
