16.9. Rule Set Requirements

There are three requirements when creating rule sets on the JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform.

The name and action class as shown:

<action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.BusinessRulesProcessor"
  name="OrderDiscountRuleService">

One of the following is also required:

a DRL file:

<property name="ruleSet" value="drl/OrderDiscount.drl" />

a DSL or DSLR ( Domain Specific Language ) file:

<property name="ruleSet" value="dsl/approval.dslr" />
<property name="ruleLanguage" value="dsl/acme.dsl" />

a decisionTable on the class-path:

<property name="decisionTable" value="PolicyPricing.xls" />

a properties file on the class-path. This tells the rule agent how to find the rules package. You enable it by specifying either an URL or the path to a local file:
```
<property name="ruleAgentProperties"
           value="brmsdeployedrules.properties" />
```
