OK, I'd see your use as something like this:-<br><br>1. Define the rules (you give an example of)<br>2. At runtime insert appropriate facts into a KnowledgeSession<br>3. The rules return some indicator of the appropriate "customisation" required<br>
<br>If this makes sense, you should probably read about using Globals (to return a list of "customisations" out of WM) or StatelessSessions (which sounds more appropriate, for scalability).<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the minimal information.<br>
<br>
We have a B2C application which is basically into eCommerce. You can<br>
consider it another amazon or ebay.<br>
<br>
And one thing we do today in a very crude way is personalize the appearance<br>
and content (ie., products, pricing of products, banner images, etc) based<br>
on the user profile. For example, on Valentine's day if the user is a male,<br>
he gets to see gifts for a female and vice versa.<br>
<br>
So, as part of a Solution revamp, we have decided to use Drools to manage<br>
product visibility by having a rule which says... if the user is male, dont<br>
show this but show that as a basic example. Now, there are certain<br>
functionalities we have as core in our Content Management System (like a<br>
custom Joomla or Drupal) which we wouldnt want to migrate entirely to<br>
Drools. So, we would define the segments in Drools and map such segments to<br>
the existing entities.<br>
<br>
eg: Segment can be Male vs Female with Segment Codes SEG_MALE and SEG_FEMALE<br>
as an example where SEG_MALE and SEG_FEMALE are two possible values in an<br>
enumerated list. Now, this being the situation, we want to be able to<br>
retrieve this list of enumerated values into our CMS so that we can map them<br>
to existing entities like banner images.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
<br>
