Interface IRuleEngine
-
@Deprecated(since="9.2") public interface IRuleEngine
Deprecated.useRules.create()
Rule Engine is an engine to execute rules. A rule is composed of two parts, a condition and an action: When the condition is met, the action is executed.
From this interface you can create
RuleBase
. The RuleBase is a repository for all rule resources. Then the RuleBase has to create a new rule session to execute the rules.- Rule resource is a resource that defines rules. It can be a native rule language (*.drl) file, decision table.
- Rule session is a session that interacts with the engine.
Example: execute rules on an object
Example: execute rules on a collection of objects// This example will calculate tax for an employee Employee employee = new Employee("John Snow", 4000); IRuleBase rulebase = Rules.engine().createRuleBase(); // namespace.of.rules is the folder hierarchy (namespace\of\rules) that contains rule resources // and inside the root rules folder in the Ivy project rulebase.loadRulesFromNamespace("namespace.of.rules"); IStatelessRuleSession session = rulebase.createSession(); session.execute(employee);
// This example will calculate tax for list of employees IRuleBase rulebase = Rules.engine().createRuleBase(); rulebase.loadRulesFromNamespace("namespace.of.rules"); IStatelessRuleSession session = rulebase.createSession(); session.execute(employees);
