A rule engine is java code, so well crafted java code is always going to
outperformance a generic rule engine - if you arrange all your caching
and indexing right. So I'm not sure what it is you are trying to prove?
If you wanted to prove that drools was faster than dump iteration and
lookup, try something that exploits the indexing. Create 10K people and
200 places. Assign the people randomly to different places - use a
String keyword to match the two. Then use the rule engine to find all
the people matching all the places and then try the same in java code.

Hi ,
I have been given an assignment to show case the situation where the
performance of a rule engine will be better than java code .
My first question is ; Is this possible ?
What I had done earlier was I sent an arraylist and I used the 'from'
clause , like Mark pointed out for the 'from' statement pure iteration
happens and the index is not created .
So what I have done now is create a scenario where I insert about 20,000
objects and have 20 rules (each rule has 2 alpha nodes ) . I do the same
with java code (if-elses) and the java code wins this competition hands
down .
Is there a breakthrough point where the rule engine performs as well as the
java code or even better ?
Appreciate it
Harsh
