Give Your Business Logic a Framework with Drools | |

| While I agree that this kind of business logic should be separate from the 'low-level' code, I don't think your example makes a good case for drools. A perfect example of XML used where it shouldn't be. | ||

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. -
Deployment of Drools

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

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.
