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:
