[rules-users] Drools implementation problem

[Michael Anstis]

IMO it really comes down to personal preference.

If you don't have any rules shared across campaigns I'd personally use a
different KnowledgeBase for each campaign. It'll make maintenance cleaner
when things start to change.

However if you have rules that are shared across multiple campaigns then
using a differentiator fact (i.e "Campaign") that causes certain rules to
activate for certain campaigns; again as maintenance will be cleaner.

Guvnor can reference models from multiple JARs; but if you already have a
custom UI you'd only really need Guvnor as your repository (i.e database)
all be it with version control.

If you have your own UI and Guvnor's other features are excessive to your
need then storing the DRL in a database is probably your simplest option.

Cheers,

Mike
