[rules-users] Guvnor-5.5

[Stephen Masters]

Sounds like a plan. I'll get stuck into it and write up the experiences. I suspect that anybody who's conservative enough to be locked into WAS is probably not going to be too keen to hit up 6.0 for a little while. So I'll have a go at 5.5 for now, as at least I know the Tomcat build is pretty stable and should be a decent starting point. If I have time I'll apply the same steps to 6.0 and see where they diverge (if at all).

Any big differences between 5.5 and 6.0 that you can think of off-hand, which are likely to cause them to need different steps? I haven't had a look at the tech stack under 6.0 yet.

Now I'm going to have to brush off my WAS skills. My JEE bloatware app server experience is mostly with WebLogic. :)
