One often requested thing which didn’t quite make it into 4.0 BRMS was the ability to let people define lists that are shown as drop down items to choose from in rules. (Data driven enumerations I call them). Well fresh after having a holiday (no thanks too everyone who voted I shouldn’t have another one)Read more →
Now you can download BRMS standalone version, this distribution comes with a built-in Tomcat 5.5.20 web server and the insurance example as demo repository, so it runs out the box.

Seems Eclipse Visual Editor (VE) has hit hard times, see David Orme’s blog, this is a very sad place for Eclipse to be with no FOSS alternative to Netbeans Matisee; I don’t think the importance of a high quality FOSS GUI builder for SWT and JFACE should be underestimated. There is still the excellent commercialRead more →
The JBoss Rules community eco-system continues to grow with a new project over at sourceforge, MSM-Combis Rule Editor – http://sourceforge.net/projects/droolsruleedit/. I’ve downloaded and had a play with the editor and found it very novel, it’s a very different approach that I hadn’t seen before for graphically authoring rules; it uses inputs and outputs to representRead more →
Often you hear/read/see adds for tools (rules or workflow) that claim breathlessly “look ma ! no code” – “rules with out code” – giving control back to the business etc. (if you haven’t, then you obviously have a good marketing detector, and are able to mentally filter out marketing messages).

I have been beaving away on a new UI/rule modeller specifically for the web (well, at least the web initially, hopefully we will also do it stand alone in the plug in soon). This came about for 2 reasons:1) DSLs have proven to be quite popular, and we want to make them available on theRead more →
