Executing Rules

Use

The rule engine provides an environment to evaluate, infer, and execute rules. The rule engine is available on the application server as a stateless session bean.

You can use the rule engine in two ways:

  • A JEE application can lookup and invoke the rule engine as a stateless session bean

  • You can create a web service (rules service) which will lookup and invoke the rule engine as a stateless session bean internally

    This web service can be exposed as a re-usable web service.

This section describes the tasks that you can perform with rule engine.
