Greetings!

Recently, my boss asked me to check the possibility to port one of our systems to be supported by a business rules manager (ILOG JRules, Blaze Advisor, e.g.).

The system basically has to classify different types of checks depending on their origin and destination and assigns them an identifying key (for example:

If the check is from Chicago and
the check is directed to "Mary Jane"
then set the check's key to 245

Currently, this is implemented with just a table containing Place, Recipient, and Keys, so a sample row would be something like (Chicago, Mary Jane, 245). I'm not particularly sure why this is not a good approach. I mean, if the mappings are going to grow, you can always just add new rows. Plus, the mappings are really straightforward, so I don't see what benefits we could achieve by switching it into rules. They're actually around 1500 of rows, so having 1500 of those rules seems a bit far fetched to me.

Am I missing something?

Thank you very much Happy coding.
