Re: [rules-users] Drools5 in tomcat 5

Oh! I'm tempted to ask _why_ did anyone think that having a great web interface where you can create, test, store & version (I would think that at least exposing and securing) business tulers simply should fall short of _executing_ said rules? If Guvnor (or some other component, I'm learning here) could help me outsource my business rules, I could use in no matter what platform/ language. All the java coders could embed it and the rest of us could just execute it. But I won't ask :) Instead let me rephrase my original question. What's the best way to setup a remote server, that can receive my data, go through the rules, and return a response? That does not involve java coding? drools-server?

Guvnor doesn't execute the rules! It only acts as a repository! You can create your rules, test your rules and versioning them too, but if you want to execute them in a real business scenario, you have to code it. I know Drools already has some modules to do what you are trying to achieve, they are drools-pipeline (Which can use camel) or even drools-server (which is a simple servlet that executes commands). Unfortunately I'm not an expert on those modules, but you can always ask here for help.
