[rules-users] Can Jboss rules handle large no. of RuleBases?

[Anstis, Michael (M.)]

If you have many, many rules I think an optimisation would be to save a
serialised rulebase and use this instead of creating one from your DRL
(which would include parsing and RETE matrix generation). This would
become a "one off" packaging\deployment action. At runtime you'd
deserialise the rulebase. Also have a look at AgendaGroups - they allow
you to trigger sub-sets of rules in the rulebase.

	I am new to JBoss rules and trying to figure out whether we can
use it in our application. I have one doubt about its usability in our
app after reading documentation.

	 

	Documentation says that creation of RuleBase is a heavy
operation and shouldn't occur many times. But in our app we have
thousands of entities each possibly having a separate RuleBase. Is this
feasible?  

	 

	Basically rules used by one entity may not be used by other (or
should not be used in certain cases). So is there a way of sharing a
RuleBase among multiple entities but not sharing all the rules defined
in it, e.g. when we create WorkingMemory can you specify to use rules
having certain property only like 'namespace' (or package)?

	 

	I will appreciate any pointers/ideas regarding this.
