Re: [rules-users] Re: Maven compilation mojo?

I have not performed any tests on this, but I'm sure the Drools guys could comment on it as they provide serialized vs non-serialized support in the framework. I would have to think it would decrease initialization time as you're only de-serializing objects vs compiling a rule set. Of course, your build time will increase :) Our main goal was to limit the number (and size) of the jars we had to include in our application as we already had a very large distributable for our application. Some features of the compilation mojo: - Precompiles drls, ruleflow, and dsl into their individual packages - Supports single package being spread across multiple DRL and rule flow files using same package name. - Supports DSL through a specific naming convention (some work could be done here to be a little more flexible) - Supports compression to decrease serialized package file sizes (Currently gzip, could tweak to support other compressions) - Serializes via XStream (could be tweaked to support different serialization mechanisms) Eric On Fri, 2008-03-07 at 16:57 +0100, Geoffrey De Smet wrote:
