Andrew,

Looks like you are looking for drools-server to expose the rule engine via JSON.  I'm not an expert on the subject by any means, but try reading the documentation (embedded in the Guvnor documents http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.0.1.26597.FINAL/drools-guvnor/html_single/index.html#d0e1095) and see if anyone else on the mail group knows more about it.

Good luck,

Steve Ronderos

Subject: [rules-users] Clarification regarding the use of Guvnor
Sent by: rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org





Hello all,

I am a very new Drools user and am trying to expose it as a web-
service.  Due to my experience with Spring, I went ahead and  
implemented a basic rule engine and exposed it as a web service via  
Spring.  I am now looking at integrating it with Guvnor to allow non-
computer people, who are domain experts, to modify the rules.  From  
what I have read in the v5 documentation, it sounds like Guvnor is  
intended as a complete solution to what I am trying to accomplish -  
i.e. it will handle the rule management as well as exposing the rule  
engine via JSON (or other interface).  But, when I have searched  
around the internet, Guvnor sounds like just a rule management  
component.

So, I pretty much have 3 questions:

* Is my current setup of Drools + Spring the best way to expose my  
rule engine to other applications?  (Specifically, a .NET/C# app...)
* Is Guvnor suitable for integrating into my system as only a rule  
management system?

Thanks!
