Java devs, I looking for a framework to implement a rule engine, which the business would be able to manage the rules. I’ve checked drools and mvel2, which works on the oop principles, but does not look good to be handled by business ppl. Any suggestions and reference implementations? The end motive is to provide a ui to view and edit rules, so the application can behave based on the conditions.

We have used drools extensively. We built our own ui for business folks to easily define rule via simple drag and drop-> converts to json -> json gets converted to .drl at executiong

Is there a reference implementation? I’m looking for a similar functionality to be provided.

Taking a shot in the dark here but possibly Camunda could be of help. Only restriction is it works with BPMN notations

Hi Anurag, would the business be able to modify the rule runtime so the application responds based on it? Like I change a rule condition and the response changes based on the facts and conditions? The implementation is in java fyi

It does work well with Java. There is a UI tool for business to work with, however they need to do it via BPMN notations. The modified rules by business need to be deployed, do it may need developer interface in between. Looking at the use case it will fit, however I am not an Camunda expert. Check out their website, they have some nice solutions listed

Thanks @brash-monitor-80970
