[rules-dev] RE: [rules-users] Using the Rule Flow Builder GUI

[Anstis, Michael (M.)]

So I'm increasingly excited with ruleflow.... but I'm afraid I want to
understand more... Is the decision stuff for ruleflow set to be in 4.0?
Can more information as to the role of IConstraint and IVariable be
given? Will IConstraint continue to be Strings (that are evaluated at
runtime)? What purpose do IVariables have; are they bound to
(WorkingMemory) Global variables? Can IConstraints access Fact
properties (so decisions are made on a per-fact basis - probably
horredous truth maintenance issues - rather than global to the process).
I'd love to try and contribute...

	> 1) Yes kris is still working on the decision stuff for
ruleflow.
	Some of the stuff is already partially implemented, but an (X)OR
split (where you can define which path(s) to follow based on some
conditions) is still on the TODO list.
	
	> 3) The Eclipse GUI ruleflow builder doesn't seem to allow
loops in the flow.
	It does support the creation of loops: create an XOR split as
the starting point of your loop, you can then always create nodes that
link back to this starting point, resulting in a loop.  Note that
looping kind of depends on the (X)OR split as well, as that would allow
you to exit the loop in specific conditions (now you will probably
create an endless loop).  I hope I'll be able to add that piece of
functionality pretty soon to trunk.
