[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (DROOLS-1915) Guided rule editor: Support for List<RuleModel> when persistence format is changed to DRL

Guided rule editor: Support for List<RuleModel> when persistence format is changed to DRL ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DROOLS-1915 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-1915 Project: Drools Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Guided Rule Editor Reporter: Michael Anstis Currently the persistent format for the Guided Rule Editor and Guided Template Editor is XML (serialized model using XStream). Work is in progress to support deserializing from DRL to support round-tripping of guided rules authored in Guvnor to Eclipse. This introduces the potential for a single DRL file to contain multiple rules. It is possible for the new unmarshalling work to parse individual rules and hence return a List<RuleModel> however the current Guided Rule Editor would need to be changed to support multiple RuleModels in a single editor. There's lots more to think about.. what if the DRL contains Queries, Functions or Declarative Types etc... then what? Should this JIRA ever get to be worked on, perhaps a dropping out to a single free-format (DRL) text box is the only viable approach (until all Editors can use DRL).
