From: albertkao <albertkao3(a)gmail.com&gt; Subject: [rules-users] Swing GUI & Drools To: rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org Date: Wednesday, January 5, 2011, 5:51 PM I want to find out whether Swing GUI, Drools 2.5 (the only version approved by my company) & JDK 1.6.20 are a good fit for my application. i.e. whether my application is complex enough to use Drools. If Drools should be used, please give some hints how to implement with Drools 2.5. The business logic is: if (Entity = Corporation) {    Switch (Account type) {        1: the Entity dropdown box field should be greyed out; the In checkbox should be enabled.        2: the Entity dropdown box field should be greyed out; the Out field should be selected.        3: the Entity dropdown box field show all the available values;        4: the Entity dropdown box field show value1, value2 only. } else {    // ... }     -- View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/Swing-GUI-Drools-tp22...

If the business logic is this simple then no, drools is not a good fit because business rules are not necessary. The only thing that would make it necessary is if you had business users writing rules, but as far as I know drools 2.5 doesn't have much in the way of modern rules management. (unlike the 5.x series) --- On Wed, 1/5/11, albertkao <albertkao3(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > From: albertkao <albertkao3(a)gmail.com&gt; > Subject: [rules-users] Swing GUI & Drools > To: rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org > Date: Wednesday, January 5, 2011, 5:51 PM > > I want to find out whether Swing GUI, Drools 2.5 (the only > version approved > by my company) & JDK 1.6.20 are a good fit for my > application. > i.e. whether my application is complex enough to use > Drools. > If Drools should be used, please give some hints how to > implement with > Drools 2.5. > The business logic is: > if (Entity = Corporation) { > Switch (Account type) { > 1: the Entity dropdown box > field should be greyed out; the In > checkbox should be enabled. > 2: the Entity dropdown box > field should be greyed out; the Out field > should be selected. > 3: the Entity dropdown box > field show all the available values; > 4: the Entity dropdown box > field show value1, value2 only. > } else { > // ... > } > > > -- > View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/Swing-GUI-Drools-tp22... > Sent from the Drools - User mailing list archive at > Nabble.com. > _______________________________________________ > rules-users mailing list > rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users > _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
