Re: [rules-users] Rule Templates - Docs & Examples?
An extensive rewrite of the section dealing with Templates was done in
the early stages of 5.0, and it ought to be available with current
snapshot releases. The relevant section is 5.2, Templates.

I am trying to research using a rule template driven by data from a
spreadsheet, rather than using a straight decision table.
I understand I need to use the ExternalSpreadsheetCompiler but am finding a
distressing lack of information about the template format.
The 5.0 docs seem to have mistakes; the code example for that section looks
to have been cut & pasted from another section and does not match the text
description of what is going on.
Using google, the best I could find was a blog posting from Steven Williams
on Aug 26, 2008: http://blog.athico.com/2008/08/drools-rule-templates.html
In this blog posting, he said it was the first of 3 examples from the
drools-examples project. But I could not find any additional blog postings
by him on this subject.
Does anyone know of additional documentation or examples on how rule
templates work?
Specifically, how to do optional columns, and array columns, similar to how
the built in decision tables feature works?
