Abstract

Target audience Application architect, developer, business analyst In this chapter you will learn Technology and deployment issues to consider when planning your integration, like transaction support, scalability, data access, ruleset deployment How to manage the ruleset life cycle How to implement rule execution as a decision service using web service, SCA and JMS Key points Access to the data model used by the rules can impact performance and should be part of the decision service implementation not the ruleset. Data model definitions are different: there is one for messaging and service contract level; one for the rule execution, and one for persistence in the database. Parallel processing of rule execution is a common implementation in business application to support scalability and hot deployment. Ruleset parameters should not be exposed as generic service, but behind a service interface which specify the business intent of the different decision service operations.
