Response to: is that really any easier?
The follow up to this article makes the case even clearer in an Enterprise Java setting , with Frameworks (Struts-Drools-Hibernate) combined to remove the need for a lot of repetitive 'infastructure' type code. The intention is to extract the business rules from the java code , in a format that non-java people , such as Business analysts can understand. As such , the choice of formats would be XML , Database or some sort of text file (as used by Jess. There are tools such as DRL Assistant (http://www.zymose.com/faq.html) that can hide the XML format for these business users.

  The follow up article has been written, and is currently with the folks at O'Reilly. I can't commit to any timescales on their part , but I'm told that it will be over the next 4-5 weeks.

  I would like to request an article about how to deploy drools in a web container or application server, so that all other programs in application can have access to it.
  Thanks

  Given that Drools is now JBoss rules , take a look at JBoss Seam , which addresses this kind of problem
