Drools on Fuse ESB

[rogelio_sevilla1]

Hello everyone:

I want to use Drools on a POC I'm currently building. I noticed that fuse comes with a feature called servicemix-drools which is a jbi component if I'm not mistaken. But I've also found the drools osgi version on this page:

http://www.jarvana.com/jarvana/inspect-pom/org/apache/servicemix/bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.drools/5.1.1_1/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.drools-5.1.1_1.pom

I've a couple of questions, any help would be appreciated on any of these:

1.-Would there be any difference/problem between using Drools as a jbi component or an osgi component?? (my application is deployed as an osgi, I'm wondering if using a jbi one is recommended or if i should try to install the OSGi one)

2.-My main objective is to combine drools with camel, has anyone done this on fuse esb?? , any good reading you could recommend me??

Thanks a lot in advance

for Q1, you can consider the drool OSGi bundle is part of lib jar which will be used in the servicemix-drool jbi component.

Drool team did some integration work with Camel, you make need to take a look at it

Thanks for your answer mr. Willem, i will check out the Drools team's work :-D.

For Q1, Just to confirm that I understood correctly, does that mean that currently the only way to use drools on fuse is through the jbi component??  , if the answer is yes, do you recommend mixing the osgi with the jbi components or is it a bad idea??

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

Actually in Servicemix4, jbi components are also OSGi bundles, so it's no problem to use it in OSGi container.
