I'm trying to come up to speed on the drools capabilities. I see that
drools supports loading rules from a decision table in a spreadsheet. I
have a set of conversion tables that I'd like to represent as facts
asserted when the rule base has been loaded, but before processing user
requests. I could always model lookup tables in a database, but I'd
rather not have to build the CRUD interface to manage them. I'd rather
represent them so that each row in a spreadsheet represents a fact
(based upon a predefined java bean). Of course, I could custom
implement this functionality. However, I was wondering if drools
supports some OOTB means of loading facts from Excel or other resource?
thanks,
