Chapter 14. Domain Specific Languages (DSLs)

Domain Specific Languages (or DSLs) are a way of creating a rule language that is dedicated to your problem domain. A set of DSL definitions consists of transformations from DSL "sentences" to DRL constructs, which lets you use of all the underlying rule language and engine features. You can write rules in DSL rule (or DSLR) files, which will be translated into DRL files.

DSL and DSLR files are plain text files and you can use any text editor to create and modify them. There are also DSL and DSLR editors you can use, both in the IDE as well as in the web based BRMS, although they may not provide you with the full DSL functionality.
