JBoss ESB & Drools execution on-the-fly

[r0nan]

Hi fellow ESB users.

Im developing an application which requires to execute rules based on Drools language. We realized that ESB's BusinessRulesProcessor would be a perfect match.

However our application need INSTANT rule execution. And when i say instant i mean to disable the polling, namely:

drools.resource.scanner.interval or org.jboss.soa.esb.services.rules.resource.scanner.interval

to provide instant rule evaluation EVERTIME when the BusinessRulesProcessor start.

Can anybody help me with disable the polling while supporting the knowledgebase updates? (not just remove the MBean)

org.jboss.soa.esb.services.rules.resource.scanner.interval is there to scan for changes in Drools resource configuration.     How is removing that going to help your execution?

See section 2.1 of the Services Guide : http://docs.jboss.org/jbossesb/docs/4.10/manuals/html/Services_Guide/index.html

Hey Tom.

The usecase was:

     - Everytime when the BusinessRulesProcessor triggered the RuleBase have to be evaluated. In other words, connect to Guvnor and (re)build the package over and over when a new invocation comes to the service.

     - So basicaly i dont need any polling. Therefore the scan interval is useless.

Fortunately i have already solved it:

     - Remove the MBean which makes the polling happen.

     - Modify the DroolsRuleService's code to suite the needs.
