Re: [rules-users] Using JBoss Rules in cases where users need to add / remove rules

Hello All: I am trying to figure out if JBoss Rules will be suitable for my application needs. Maybe you can give some insight. My application needs to implement / use a rules engine for evaluating conditions and firing off events when those conditions are met. So far this sounds exactly like the sort of thing that JBoss Rules is for. The twist is that my application will also provide an administrative utility that allows admins to add or remove rules, as well as modify the conditions that trigger these rules. Can JBoss Rules be used to do this? All of the examples I've seen so far seem to incorporate rules whose consequences are fixes, but with changeable conditions. For example, there are lots of samples out there like an insurance application. Such an example has consequences such as offerQuote, turnDownCustomer etc. that don't change, but with conditions that do change. For example, today offer quotes to all good drivers, tomorrow change the rule to offer quotes to all good drivers over the age of 18. The conditions change, but the basic actions in the system are common. What I think my requirement implies is a way to define rules with conditions and the corresponding consequences code at runtime. This seems to imply that the application code needs to be dynamic, in order to allow users to define arbitrary consequence code. Has anyone ever tried to do something this generic with JBoss Rules, and better, can you fill me in on how to go about this?
