Re: [rules-users] Web services and Drools
Personally, I use the Spring framework to provide SOAP (and REST) web services to other
applications. It's relatively simple to set it up and I'm fond of the
contract-first approach which it encourages.
With regards integration with Drools, it's easy enough in Spring. You just need to
create a Spring bean to act as the interface to your knowledge base. That way, Spring
ensures that you have only one knowledge base instance in play, so it is configured and
compiled when the application starts.
I'd be happy to answer any Spring/Drools integration questions (I don;t tend to use
other web frameworks), and I can provide some code examples if Spring is the way you wish
to go.

Hello everyone,
I need to develop a web application that includes Drools as its rule engine
and would like to expose its functionality as web services. I would
appreciate some expert opinion on which framework would be easiest to learn
and to work with. Some of the posts I have seen regarding Drools and OSGi
refer to it as a "nightmare". Is that still true with the current version?
If anyone has had any experience with Spring, EJB or other and would like to
share I would be very interested since I am new to this domain. If there is
a case to be made about not using a framework at all then I would also like
to hear you out.
Best regards,
