Varnit,
There are initiatives out there on standardizing rules languages (RIF, RuleML, etc) but AFAIK there is no real support for them yet, neither from Drools, nor from JRules side. Mark did worked with someone from iLog (at that time, IBM now) and implemented a proof of context once for the RuleML conference proving it is possible to do it with limited functionality, as RIF is still the minimum common denominator among engines/languages, but if you go that route, it would still require quite a work I imagine.
Your best bet IMO is to make your application generate a common canonical model that can then be used to generate both DRL and IRL rules and deploy them on their respective engines. Drools has such a model (represented by our *Descr classes) if you want a starting point. If you want to take the next step and work with us in an IRL parser for Drools, you would be able to roundtrip DRL <-> IRL automatically, but that would require a bit more effort.

Hi,
What will be the best way to achieve the following: We are trying to
create a simple web based interface which will allow our marketing
team to create rules and then deploy them to either jrules or drools
(depending on the client).
Is there some standard "rules language" or library available to achieve this?
Thanks,
VK
