spring-boot-starter-drools

Spring Boot Starter for booting fast with the JBoss Business Rules Engine Drools Expert and KIE Components

Howto

See the Testclass for how to use the drools-api (it's basicly the KieSession you need to interact with) or have a look at the springdrools example project, to see how to use the starter in your project.

There´s no official maven-repo-release, so you can use jitpack

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

<repository>
    <id>jitpack.io</id>
    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>

Step 2. Add the dependency in the form (change version to actual commit-id you can lookup here)

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.User</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-drools</artifactId>
    <version>225907afae</version>
</dependency>

Improve

• Error handling of Rules-Editing is bad (getting Cast-Exceptions, when Rules aren´t correctly defined - which happens 1000 times while developing...)

Drools Eclipse/STS tooling

• if you´re using Spring Tool Suite, be shure you have 3.6.4 or higher, otherwise you get an installation error with drools described on stackoverflow
• install drools with droolsupdatesite for 6.2.0.Final or if the version is old, get the newest from droolsdownload:
