If you try you may be able to get away to limiting the scope to package as long as the rules file is also in the same package. Depending on how the objects are created/used in the rest of your application you may be able to write an interface to define the public methods and only your drools code uses/has access to the actualy implementation class Thomas ************************************************************************************** This message is confidential and intended only for the addressee.
