The web service Generation tool helps a third party user to process the rules defined in BRFplus. The tool also helps the third party user to create web services with minimal interaction.

Example Example

You need to work on more than one product at the same time. Rules are defined in BRFplus and these rules (in coding) are used as input in a different product. In such a situation, assign the rules created in BRFplus to a function. Generate a web service, process the function and invoke the web service from any environment, for example, in a Java environment.

End of the example.
