Rules Engine

Rules Engine is a powerful UI tool that automatically generates XML from selected options with just few mouse clicks. Various tags collectively form an XML file that can be validated by a web service. This XML can then be further used for various purposes in the other parts of your applications.

A Rule is simply a collection of XML tags that is to be used for some specific task. These tags can differ from organization to organization and are saved in a master library. Now instead of writing XML manually, you can use Rules Engine to get an automatically generated XML file. This file can be saved in the database or any other storage medium and validated against a schema or web service. In addition to using existing tags, Rules Engine can dynamically be used to add tags in master library to enrich it for further use, similar to a self learning process.

Example

Rules Engine provides a well formed XML rule that imposes validations dynamically on application and eliminate the use of hard coded validations on data entry.

Broadly, Rules Engine functionality can be summed up as:

	Selecting tags from User Interface.
	Passing automatically generated XML to a web service for correctness.
	Saving generated XML rules.
	Executing rules at various screens for imposing validations dynamically.
