Some of the advatanges of using a Rule Engine against plain java code are: - Declarative definition of your business rules, that can be expressed using a domain specific language that business analysist can validate and understand. In other words you can define what to do and not how to do it. - You keep the business logic decoupled from your application, letting you change it without recompiling your entire application. - You need to understand that having rules is not the same of having multiple IF/ELSE statements. The analysis of true statements are not done sequencially, allowing you to analyze multiple conditions much faster. - Using rules you don't burry the business logic inside your application code Among other advantages -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/581189#581189] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
