16.21. The SpreadsheetCompiler Class

The SpreadsheetCompiler class is the main class used with API spreadsheet-based decision tables in the drools-decisiontables module. This class takes spreadsheets in various formats and generates rules in DRL.

The SpreadsheetCompiler can be used to generate partial rule files and assemble them into a complete rule package after the fact. This allows the separation of technical and non-technical aspects of the rules if needed.
