Mastering JBoss Drools 6

By: Mariano De Maio, Mauricio Salatino, Esteban Aliverti

Overview of this book

Mastering JBoss Drools 6 will provide you with the knowledge to develop applications involving complex scenarios. You will learn how to use KIE modules to create and execute Business Rules, and how the PHREAK algorithm internally works to drive the Rule Engine decisions. This book will also cover the relationship between Drools and jBPM, which allows you to enrich your applications by using Business Processes. You will be briefly introduced to the concept of complex event processing (Drools CEP) where you will learn how to aggregate and correlate your data based on temporal conditions. You will also learn how to define rules using domain-specific languages, such as spreadsheets, database entries, PMML, and more. Towards the end, this book will take you through the integration of Drools with the Spring and Camel frameworks for more complex applications.

Go to chapter-11-workbench-tests, compile it, and run the standalone script from the target/wildfly.8.1.0.Final/bin/ folder to start the environment. After it starts, go to http://localhost:8080/kie-wb on your machine and log in using the "testuser" username and test password to get to the following page:

Tip

Note: it will take a few minutes to start, so if you get a 404 from the URL, just give it a few more minutes to load

Once it loads, we will be able to see the options involving authoring Kie Assets if we go to the Authoring | Project Authoring option in the...
