I\'ve just now started my new project. My project manager said that Drools is the new technology and we will include drools flow and rules and will integrate our web application
It depends on what technologies you use. If, for example, you use Java+Maven+Spring, you first need to include Drools dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.drools</groupId>
<artifactId>drools-core</artifactId>
<version>${drools.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.drools</groupId>
<artifactId>drools-compiler</artifactId>
<version>${drools.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.drools</groupId>
<artifactId>drools-spring</artifactId>
<version>${drools.version}</version>
</dependency>
Define the application context:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
xmlns:drools="http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.5.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-2.5.xsd
http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring.xsd">
<drools:kbase id="kbase1">
<drools:resources>
<drools:resource source="classpath:Sample.drl" />
</drools:resources>
</drools:kbase>
<drools:ksession id="ksession1" type="stateful" kbase="kbase1" />
</beans>
Then you can inject ksession1
as a bean.
