Main Description
The Rule Engine as an executable class, callable using proprietary API or the JSR94 API. Rule Engine can be an embedded component or deployed within a pool as reusable components. When designing a SOA and the different decision services, the architect should focus and apply the same design pattern as other business services. The rule engine technology choice is an implementation decision not a service design one. The service design has to address: the service definition: one or more operations linked to the same data semantic the operation call approach: synchronous/ asynchronous, stateless/stateful, header based or carrying payload, use of faults or not the exception reporting The service implementation using a rule engine has to look at: the transaction propagation the reference data caching the parsing of input message: the claim data the loading of the related data: the policy related to the claim, or the insured person profile the preparation of the output message: the result and may be some other technical data
