Subject: JxBRE - Open source rule engine
FYI, Another possible candidate engine for BPSS....? DW =========================== .NET XML Business Rule Engine 6701 Users read it. David Dossot (January 19, 2004) Rating: 20 users 3.8 out of 5 Properties Author David Dossot Language C# NxBRE is the first open-source rule engine for the .NET platform and a lightweight Business Rules Engine (aka Rule-Based Engine). NxBRE offers two different approaches: the Flow Engine, which uses XML as a way to control process flow for an application in an external entity. It is basically a wrapper on C#, as it offers all its flow control commands (if/then/else, while, foreach), plus a context of business objects and results. It is a port of JxBRE v1.7.1 (SourceForge Project from Sloan Seaman) to .NET's Visual C#. the Inference Engine, which is a forward-chaining (data driven) deduction engine and that supports concepts like Facts, Queries and Implications (as defined in RuleML 0.8 Datalog) and like Rule Priority, Mutual Exclusion and Precondition (as found in many commercial engines). It is designed in a way that encourages the separation of roles between the expert who designs the business rules and the programmer who binds them to the business objects. NxBRE's interest lies first into its simplicity, second in the possibility of easily extending its features by delegating to custom code in the Flow Engine or by writing custom RuleBase adapters or Business Objects binders in the Inference Engine. NxBRE can be really useful for projects that have to deal with: complex business rules that can not be expressed into one uniform structured manner but require the possibility to have free logical expressions, changing business rules that force recompilation if the new rules must meet unexpected requirements. NxBRE is released under LGPL license in order to allow users to legally build commercial solutions that embed NxBRE. Your files are attached and ready to send with this message. <<ShowDetail.url>>
