i read the documentation saying drools 4.x supports pluggable dialects, but i can't find anything else that explains what it is. i think by default i am using java dialect. and there is a MVEL dialect. is that it?

i am trying to see if there is a way to not use java beans as fact objects.

i have been looking to the MVEL website where they have a sample like this:
Map vars = new HashMap();
vars.put("x", new Integer(5));
vars.put("y", new Integer(10));

Integer result = (Integer) MVEL.eval("x * y", vars);
my question is if i use MVEL dialect, can i pass in a Map similar to the above for fact objects? Thanks.
Dialects make  no difference to  what you can assert. The dialect is simple the lanage used to execute returnValue, inlne-evals, evals and consequences. You can choose  Java or MVEL, or plugin your own.
