[rules-dev] Re: RuleFlow preview

Hi Mark, The part in the document where it says: "At this point, ruleflow-groups should not be reused in more than one ruleflow, and you should not start a new instance of a process before the previous one has ended." will be the weak link in the chain, i.e. there should not be any reason why rule-flow-groups should not be reused nor having multiple instances since rules are implicitly parallel in operation. This was what I found to be the problem with ILOG's JRules back in the v4.0 edition. It turned JRules into a clunky procedural processing engine (which was not what we needed at that time). However, I am very proud to see that Jboss Rules (JBRules) has successfully evolved to this point. You (and your team) are to be commended for your efforts. Tally-ho !!

If anyone has got any suggestions or improvements (on the API I'm proposing, or things you would like to see differently), just let me know asap. I think I'll be able to commit a first working version on svn soon. Still have to include conditional connections (where a connection is only selected if its condition evaluates to true), and some smaller stuff. Kris
