Paraphrasing your 1st paragraph - how would you react to this question?


"I am just trying to get a feel of size of a typical Java application. How many low-to-medium complex classes a typical Java application will have ? I understand and agree that it totally depends upon the application and business needs, but I am trying to get a feel of if Java is the correct solution to a problem and if that can be determined by number of classes"



And, here's why there's no answer:


20 or 10,000 - both has been reported - it depends on the quality of your problem and which technique you favour. Note: It's possible to trade rules against (supporting) fact data.

There is certainly no such number "x".

Hi

I am just trying to get a feel of size of a typical rules application. How many low-to-medium complex rules a typical rules application will have ? I understand and agree that it totally depends upon the application and business needs, but I am trying to get a feel of if rules is the correct solution to a problem and if that can be determined by number of rules.

e.g.

if to satisfy a business need, I wrote a rules application and ended up writing say 20 medium-complex rules and in another case, I wrote a rules application and ended up writing say 10,000 low/medium complex rules

which one of these two cases sound like real, logical candidate for a rules based app  and why ?  Is there a rule of thumb, that “x” number of rules is a good number for an application to qualify under rules technology ?
