Because I only needed a small subset of the Drools functionality (i.e. just plain rules without salience) I just made up a simple xml schema to store the rule. I've posted some other related questions about the .brl format (which is the xml format Guvnor uses to store rules) but haven't gotten many useful replies. I think if you project is not overly complex it's probably better off just making up your own storage scheme than trying to reverse engineer the classes in Drools (fyi they use XStream to serialize and deserialize their classes into xml). Hope that helps. -- View this message in context: http://drools-java-rules-engine.46999.n3.nabble.com/How-to-work-with-org-... Sent from the Drools - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
