Entry-point defaults for type, rule, package
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBRULES-2801
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2801
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Wolfgang Laun
            Assignee: Mark Proctor


Implement the definition of the default entry point for an Event or Fact type via a metadata attribute, e.g.:
   declare X
     @role( event )
     @entry-point( y )
   end
so that this
   a) declares the entry-point in the KnowledgeBase (the same way from entry-point "x" does)
   b) removes the need to use from entry-point with all patterns referring to X
   c) would still let me override the entry point with a "from entry-point" clause.

The same attribute can be used inside a rule, where it is associated with all fact patterns without an explicit entry point. Here it also overrides an entry-point declared with the type's declare, if any.

Since all rule attributes may also be used at package level (outside rules), this includes the new entry-point attribute. It will then be honoured in rules according to the current strategy for all other rule attributes.
