If I understand correctly a set of rules needs to be ran depending upon the file mask? Would the use of agenda groups not provide the solution? 1) One rulebase with all rules for all partners in it 2) When a file appears the filename mask is extracted and the corresponding agenda group ran 3) The result (say a new Fact created by one of the rules, say QueuedFile) is retrieved from WM. 4) The file assigned to the queue. As new partners are added the rulebase simply has the new rules in their respective agenda group added. My 50c's worth.

When ever it finds a file in the directory, it reads the file name ( which contains some mask say ABC-834-xxxx ), which my application sets the ABC-834 to bean of rules. Based on this mask, the targetQ for this file-content will be decided. I am able to do that using .drl file. But as partners increase new files with their masks will be placed in the source folder. So I have an admin module which creates partners with the details of mask, sourceQueue and destinationQ which will act as my rules. I need to get all the rules from the database as soon as I found a file in the source folder, so that I can fire all the rules and decide on the target queue.(Assuming, partner details will be upadted using admin module) Any help for this situation will be very helpful.

I am not still clear on the creation and firing rules. Let me explain in detail There say 3 trading partners who share files with my application. Say ABC(FileMask: ABC-834, and tagetQ is q834) DEF(FileMask: DEF-850, and targetQ is q835) ... Through my admin module, I will insert guidelines for each trading partner (fileMask, targetQueue). In my database there are 3 rows in a table x which acts as rules for the files they place. Here I am not using .drl file so that I can build the PackageBuilder. Any partner can place the file on the source folder. I need to pick the file and then I need to fetch the row(targetQueue) relating to the file and then fire rules accordingly. Now how to create package from the data contained in database, so that I can obtain the rulebase. The reason of not using .drl is at run time from admin module I can add new partner and their rules. and my application should handle the new partner added there on. Please guide me and share me if you have any sample/documentation as such. Thanks for your support.
