color=#0000ff size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN

to figure out whether we can use it in our application. I have one doubt about
its usability in our app after reading documentation.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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? </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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)?</SPAN></FONT></P>
