[rules-dev] RE: [rules-users] Using the Rule Flow Builder GUI

So I'm increasingly excited with ruleflow.... but I'm afraid I want to understand more... Is the decision stuff for ruleflow set to be in 4.0? Can more information as to the role of IConstraint and IVariable be given? Will IConstraint continue to be Strings (that are evaluated at runtime)? What purpose do IVariables have; are they bound to (WorkingMemory) Global variables? Can IConstraints access Fact properties (so decisions are made on a per-fact basis - probably horredous truth maintenance issues - rather than global to the process). I'd love to try and contribute... ________________________________ From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Kris Verlaenen Sent: 14 May 2007 22:57 To: Rules Users List Subject: Re: [rules-users] Using the Rule Flow Builder GUI ruleflow. Some of the stuff is already partially implemented, but an (X)OR split (where you can define which path(s) to follow based on some conditions) is still on the TODO list. loops in the flow. It does support the creation of loops: create an XOR split as the starting point of your loop, you can then always create nodes that link back to this starting point, resulting in a loop. Note that looping kind of depends on the (X)OR split as well, as that would allow you to exit the loop in specific conditions (now you will probably create an endless loop). I hope I'll be able to add that piece of functionality pretty soon to trunk. Kris
