I have been asked to integrate Drools into an existing webapp. We are thinking about using Spring (already implemented).
I have read in the Drools 4 documentation, the RuleAgent should be kept in a Singleton or JNDI or similar.
i.e. from 4.0 docs
"IMPORTANT: You should only have one instance of the RuleAgent per
rulebase you are using. This means you should (for example) keep the
agent in a singleton, JNDI (or similar). In practice most people are
using frameworks like Seam or Spring - in which case they will take care
of managing this for you (in fact in Seam - it is already integrated -
you can inject rulebases into Seam components). Note that the RuleBase
can be used multiple times by multiple threads if needed (no need to
have multiple copies of it)."
I have upgraded to Drools 5.0. Is the Singleton still required in 5.0 ? I cannot see any mention of it there.
Has any had any experience with Drools 5.0 and Spring? Any advice?
