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

You can use Rules Engine in two ways:

  • A JEE application can lookup and invoke the Rule Engine as a stateless session bean

  • You can write 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 Rules Engine.
