Now, is it possible to change the logic dynamically at runtime ? Or is the<br>drl file used only to externalize the business logic? I tried changing the<br>message in drl file and it didnt get reflected<br></blockquote></div>
<br>Unless things have changed radically since the last version I spent any real time with, this would depend almost entirely on the code you wrote; the process of selecting a set of rules to run and how you cache it is usually within your control. Now, I don't know how things have changed with the introduction of the BRMS and
4.0, but "when I was a boy", you explicitly loaded your rules into a ruleset, and then, usually, for performance reasons, would hang on to that ruleset. In so doing, you cache the rules that you loaded. If you want to periodically check the filesystem for an update and decide if and when to invalidate your cached ruleset, that's entirely your decision to make.
