[rules-users] Re: Production rules vs. ECA Rules

Hi Mark,

in which constellations i should select ECAs? What is the difference between events in ECAs and the occurrence of a certain set of facts in WorkingMemory in case of production rules?

In following document they classify ECAs and production rules both as reactive rules, but they state they are somehow different:

http://www.pms.ifi.lmu.de/publikationen/PMS-FB/PMS-FB-2007-8/PMS-FB-2007-8-reactive-rules-on-the-web.pdf

And they state that JBoss Rules is only for production rules.  
So can I use JBoss Rules for implementing ECAs? 

Thanks and best regards,

Kioumars

ECA is really a specialised subset of Product Rules; focusing more on
generic event generation and event handling.
