<DIV><SPAN class=437001318-09102008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm trying to come
up to speed on the drools capabilities. I see that drools supports loading
rules from a decision table in a spreadsheet. I have a set of conversion
tables that I'd like to represent as facts asserted when the rule base has been
loaded, but before processing user requests. I could always model lookup
tables in a database, but I'd rather not have to build the CRUD interface
to manage them. I'd rather represent them so that each row in a
spreadsheet represents a fact (based upon a predefined java bean). Of
course, I could custom implement this functionality. However, I was
wondering if drools supports some OOTB means of loading facts from Excel or
other resource?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
