Hi Davide,<br>thank you very much for your suggestions. I&#39;m very pleased to see that you find interesting this topic..i have to think about the possibility to come there to discuss about this, cause i&#39;m really really busy between thesis and job. But i&#39;m interested and i&#39;ll think about it, and i&#39;ll write you a mail about this in the next days. I&#39;m sorry to disturb you again, but i need to ask you some technical details, because i need to go on with my thesis work...<br>
<br>You suggest use of rule template, i read about this, but my doubt are:<br><br>- i find examples (<a href="http://planet.jboss.org/post/drools_rule_templates">http://planet.jboss.org/post/drools_rule_templates</a>), where data is taken from a spreadsheet and then used to generate rules, from the rule template. I see that particular instructions are used, such as <i>@{row.rowNumber},</i> that i think can be used only with data stored in a row-column format. So this example can&#39;t help me about data from xml. But i read that rule template can be used with generals data format, but i can&#39;t find anything from which i can start about xml data...can you help me in some way? Any example or web resourse?<br>
- i&#39;m confusing about the translator: if i use rule template, i need a tranlsator too? Or is it an alternative? I think that is an alternative, because if i translate xml with an xsl stylesheet, i can otbtain directly the rules, without using rule template..is it correct, or i need translator also if i use rule template, and generate rules from xml data?<br>
<br>Thanks in advance,<br>Filippo<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/5/4 Davide Sottara <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:dsotty@gmail.com" target="_blank">dsotty@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Dear Filippo,<br>
I would use rule templates to generate rules from the XML, and then use them<br>
to create a new session, or add them to an existing session. The translator<br>
itself could be implemented in DRL? XSLT? ...?<br>
Inserting a Policy would hardly work generally, Drools does not (yet) have<br>
full prolog-like unification, so that solution would be feasible only if you<br>
could write meta-rules to join Policies and runtime data/facts.<br>
Leaving the technical details apart, the mapping between WS-Policy and rules<br>
is an interesting topic... would you be interested in coming to Bologna and<br>
spend a few hours discussing the problem in greater detail?<br>
