Chapter 3. Validation
3.1. Rules in Smooks
In Smooks, rules are a general concept, not something specific to a particular cartridge.
Note
Since JBoss Fuse 6.3, the Smooks component for SwitchYard is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of JBoss Fuse.
You can configure and reference a RuleProvider from other components.
Note
The only cartridge that uses rules functionality is the validation cartridge.
Rules are centrally defined through ruleBases. A single Smooks configuration can refer to many ruleBase definitions. A rulesBase configuration has a name, a rule
src and a rule provider.
The format of the rule source is entirely dependent on the provider implementation. The only requirement is that the individual rules be uniquely named (within the context of a single source) so they can be referenced.
