Key Elements in JBoss Enterprise BRMS

JBoss Enteprise BRMS (new in 2009)Enables critical business rules to be managed in a more centralized manner (e.g. Insurance = policy risk assess and pricing; Heathcare = claims processing annual regulatory changes)Avoids need to otherwise re-code business rules redundantly in multiple applicationsLeverages JBoss Rules execution engine which has been available for yearsAdds new browser-based Rules Mgmt app, enabling business users to participate in the review, editing, and maintenance of business rule changesAlso adds Repository to provide version management of multiple sets of business rulesSupports the deployment of business rules to JBoss middleware platforms and non-JBoss runtime environments

rule "When there is a fire turn on the sprinkler" when Fire($room : room) $sprinkler : Sprinkler( room == $room, on == false )then modify( $sprinkler ) { on = true }; println( "Turn on the sprinkler for room " + $room.name );end

Sample Rules (Fire Alarm)

$c : Custumer( type == VIP )$oe : BuyOrderEvent( customer == $c ) from entry-point Home Broker Stream not BuyAckEvent( relatedEvent == $oe.id, this after[1s, 10s] $oe ) from entry-point Stock Trader Stream

Sample Rules (Trading System)

accumulate( $s : StockTicker( symbol == RHAT ) over window:time( 5s ), $avg : avg( $s.price ), $min : min( $s.price ), $max : max( $s.price ) )eval( $avg > 55 && $min > 50 && $max < 100 )
