Hi,
We do something similar, a bit more intricate though. We have been
integrating Drools into an SCA container, where the rule infrastructure is
used as an implementation type. We define the implementation type in a SCDL,
which is an XML file that has the service component definitions. Like below
for example,
<composite>
<component name="MyRoolsComponent">
<implementation.drools resource="jdbc://myDs?query=foo" />
</component>
</composite>
The resource attribute is a URL, and we have custom URL connection factories
that source DRL definitions from relational databases. The users may edit
the DRL files whichever way they want and upload through a web UI.
On a slight sidebar, we also allow other components within the SCA
container, injected via DI as globals into the rule files. We are also able
to autowire non-components implemented in Groovy, BPEL etc, into globals
within the rules component based on contract compatibility checks.
Regards
Meeraj

I am trying to develop an application where users can specify rules at a

work with a pre-defined set of objects and actions they can take on the
objects.
I could use a BRMS such as Guvnor but I found the GUI lacking and not
friendly enough for the non-technical end users I am supporting. I will
instead write a front end for user input, which is stored in the DB, and
the
backend will pull data and generate a .drl file each time it's run.
I have found an old article on loading rules in and out of a DB
dynamically,
at
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/DROOLS/Loading+and+managing+rules+dynami...
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/DROOLS/Loading+and+managing+rules+dynami...
, which seems to fit my need. I am looking for feedbacks on users who have
tried this approach. How flexible is it? My main concerns is that future
versions of Drools might break a lot of things and require a lot of
recoding. To me it seems like a reasonable approach.
