16.9. Rule Set Requirements

  • There are three requirements when creating rule sets on the JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform.
    The name and action class as shown: 
    <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.BusinessRulesProcessor"
  name="OrderDiscountRuleService">
    One of the following is also required:
    • a DRL file: 
      <property name="ruleSet" value="drl/OrderDiscount.drl" />
    • a DSL or DSLR ( Domain Specific Language ) file: 
      <property name="ruleSet" value="dsl/approval.dslr" />
<property name="ruleLanguage" value="dsl/acme.dsl" />
    • a decisionTable on the class-path: 
      <property name="decisionTable" value="PolicyPricing.xls" />
    • a properties file on the class-path. This tells the rule agent how to find the rules package. You enable it by specifying either an URL or the path to a local file: 
      <property name="ruleAgentProperties"
           value="brmsdeployedrules.properties" />
