[rules-users] Dummy question from a new comer

Hi, I only started using Guvnor recently. Just wonder if anyone could clarify one question. A good benefit of using Guvnor to manage rules is to decouple the rules from application code. However, the RHS of some rules may involve actions related to other logic classes in application. For example, there's a rule that sends out an email in the action, which uses methods defined elsewhere in the project, and these should not be known by Guvnor. So my solution for that is, create a declarative model containing an "Email" fact in Guvnor. When the rule fires, logical insert an "Email" object. And back in java code I'll try to check if there's an "Email" object created after the fireAllRules() call. If there is, call my email sending method. Is this the right way? If so, what's the best way to look for the newly created "Email" object in Java code? There are methods to getFactHandles() and getObjects(). Are they the area to look for? Any comment will be highly appreciated! Yu -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Dummy-question-from-a-new-comer-tp32481...
