[rules-dev] Feedback on Drools - Spring / what can I do to help?

[Paul Browne]

I'll bite, although most likely I'm missing something obvious here

Code sample itself is clear enough (and builds cleanly with maven), and 
I *think* I can see the intention from the various Spring aspects and 
config files (although I'm not sure of the purpose of the aspects. .... 
yet!)

Looking at the example (DroolsTest.java) what I see is the Drools 
classes being loaded pretty much as normal (no Spring)

What I expected to see in the sample was:
1) Test gets a handle to the Spring config file
2) Spring auto-configuring the beans based on the contents of this file..
3) A call (via a bean that we've obtained from the Spring Context) which 
causes the Rule engine to fire
4) A 2nd config file showing how to configure Spring transactions / 
proxy etc

What can I do to help? Given that this isn't in SVN yet , what's the 
best way to manage the code?
