Hi everyone,

I have a scenario where an end user is expected to enter some formulas for price computation and it should be saved. The formulas contain if, else statements . Also the formulas may change in the future. Can JBOSS Rules engine can be used here? I dont have any knowledge about it. Please if any one got any idea for this problem it will be very helpful to me.

Regards,
Dhanya

Hi Dhanya,

Yes, you can use JBoss Rules for the purpose.

Just check JBoss Rules documentation for more clarity.

Hi Naveen,

Thanks for the reply. Is there any GUI for that? Like where an user can enter formulas and conditions. Is there some other strategy for my problem?

Hi Dhanya,

You need to install JDK 5.0 (J2SDK 1.5) as Eclipse 3.2 and latest release of JBoss Rules both requires the same.

You can download it from here. click on third donwload button.

Hope this help.

Regards
Naveen

Thanks Naveen. I have downloaded jboss rules-3.0.5 src and when i give this command
ant manual
it says BUILD FAILED due to some error in documentation/manual/build.xml.
Have you encountered any such problems. I am downloading java 5.0 now. Will install that and check.

No. I have downloaded the compiled jar of JBoss Rule.

I am not sure but I think there must be some kind of readme or document in the JBoss Rules Source download file. This file should contains all the instruction in order to compile the source.

Let me know if this helps.

Regards
Naveen

Hi Naveen,

That also didn't help. I am struggling for more than a week now. Did you follow the instructions from this link?
http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossrules/freezone/docs/3.0.5/html_single/index.html#d0e899

The src folder does not contain all the files as shown in the steps. Can you please tell me the steps?

Thank you.

Hi Dhanya,

Well, I have not tried the building manual using JBoss Rule Source. May be you can post your problem in the JBoss Rules Mailing list.

As a other alternative you can download the JBoss Rules Binary along with Eclipse Workbench.

I am sorry, due to my current workload I am unable to spend more time on it.

Regards
Naveen
