<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The part in the document where it says: <FONT
face=TimesNewRomanPSMT>
<P align=left>"At this point, ruleflow-groups should not be reused in more than
one ruleflow, and you should not</P>
<P align=left>start a new instance of a process before the previous one has
ended." </P>
<P align=left>will be the weak link in the chain, i.e. there should not be any
reason why rule-flow-groups should not be reused nor having multiple instances
since rules are implicitly parallel in operation. This was what I found to be
the problem with ILOG's JRules back in the v4.0 edition. It turned JRules into a
clunky procedural processing engine (which was not what we needed at that
time).</P>
<P align=left>However, I am very proud to see that Jboss Rules (JBRules) has
successfully evolved to this point. You (and your team) are to be commended for
your efforts.</P>
<P align=left>Tally-ho !!</P>

could be used in the future. If anyone has got any suggestions or
improvements (on the API I'm proposing, or things you would like to
see differently), just let me know asap.
I think I'll be able to commit a first working version on svn soon.
Still have to include conditional connections (where a connection is
only selected if its condition evaluates to true), and some smaller
stuff.
