RuleServiceProvider

The RuleServiceProvider gives you access to the RuleAdministrator or a RuleRuntime, which you need to open a new Rule Session. To get the RuleServiceProvider call RuleServiceProviderManager.getRuleServiceProvider().

In a J2EE environment you can bind the RuleServiceProvider to the JNDI and create a lookup to place it in all your applications.

RuleServiceProviderManager

The RuleServiceProvider is often compared with the DriverManager, which you use in JDBC. It works like setting up the Driver for a DataBase.
