That is great Mark , But we need this a little early as we are evaluating drools against our Business requirements and till now it meets most of the requirements , not sure if i can post my questions for drools team and will be able to get the answers so that i can show my confidence against drools and recommend it.<br>
<br>Please let me know.<br><br>Regards,<br>Ashish<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 9:02 AM, Darren Hartford <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dhartford@ghsinc.com">dhartford@ghsinc.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Drools (or rather, rule engines in general) is talking about items like:<br>
<br>
1) What steps to take to convert an existing application to instead use<br>
Drools (and the benefits/gains). Specifically, what parts of some type<br>
of sample application would be better handled in Drools rather than raw<br>
java code, and what should be left as-is (with emphasis on change<br>
management/quick change support gains when swapping to Drools).<br>
<br>
2) Starting a new application, how to start the application creation<br>
process to get the most benefit out of Drools (from requirements<br>
gathering -> implementation -> deployed and now need to make other<br>
changes).<br>
<br>
I know those sound too much like business stuff than geeky stuff, but<br>
sometimes the geek in us wants to hand-code everything and we need some<br>
good guidance/real-world hands-on reasoning for a better approach.<br>

Mark,<br>
<br>
This is an awesome idea!<br>
<br>
In my company I am often talking about and promoting Drools so what is<br>
most interesting to my audience is how you guys are fine tuning the BRMS<br>
and Execution integrations as well as making it easier to incorporate<br>
the engine into an existing bus. The incorporation into an existing bus<br>
had always been one of the more customized areas where I spend time<br>
mapping a custom xml to the fact model, but with the new pipeline<br>
features in the M5 release it sounds like this integration is much<br>
easier.<br>
<br>
I would really like to see a simple walkthrough example of these new<br>
features.<br>
<br>
Once I have this under my belt I feel pretty confident that I can have<br>
brown bags at my own company and go from nothing to a complete<br>
management / execution environment that can process xml requests in<br>
about 60 minutes. That kind of turnaround can seal the deal!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks-<br>

Subject: [rules-users] Drools Community Clinic Feb 4th 5PM GMT<br>
<br>
I'm going to try an informal experiment for the 4th of February at 5PM<br>
GMT (Date/Time subject to change), we will run an online Drools Clinic<br>
in the form of a Webinar. So the idea here isn't of a 60 minute<br>
presentation, but really more of a 60 minute interactive Q&A where we<br>
will use the desktop to assist in some explanations talking through code<br>
<br>
or examples. What do people think?<br>
<br>
Ideally we would have a set of pre-determined questions, with some adhoc<br>
<br>
ones on the day too. Feel free to start listing your Qs here. I want to<br>
avoid "What's WorkingMemory" type questions, but other than that,<br>
anything is game. Also if anyone has anything cool they would like to<br>
discuss about how they have used Drools, or just general interesting AI<br>
ideas, then that's fine too - happy for this just to turn into a fun<br>
geek chat too.<br>
<br>
Mark<br>
