[rules-users] Drools solver info => provide DSL instead of DRL to Drools Solver

[Geoffrey De Smet]

Hi Marco,

[I've send this answer to the drools user list,
please post any follow ups on the user list instead of mailing it 
directly to me.

Drools Solver's xml configuration doesn't support <scoreDsl> entry's yet
That shouldn't be to much work. I just created a JIRA for it:
  https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-2333
Patch welcome (attached to that jira) and I would apply it within a week 
on trunk.

Short of doing the patch on trunk, you can do this workaround:
- build the Solver directly yourself (basically just fisheye.jboss.org 
for XmlSolverConfigurer's code). Not recommended.
- supply a an empty drl to <scoreDrl>, build the Solver, cast it to 
DefaultLocalSearchSolver and replace the rulebase.
Both are not ideal in the long run though.

With kind regards,
Geoffrey De Smet
