Easy work flow

[jnsunkersett]

Hi,

I went through the documentation and was impressed with your easy, lightweight, pojo based engine.
The annotation and pojo based are the most appealing parts.

But still could the rules be be externalized to an external property file or similar ?

Though I have not used EasyRules practically yet, was contemplating using it more as a WorkFlow engine than a RuleEngine. (cause a workflow is also a series of steps to be taken based on some decision)

So the external file is important, to externalize the flow.

If you are aware of anything similar any redirection will be appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Yes, this is planned for next release. Please see #36

There is a project called easy flows for that. But it is not released yet. It will allow to define workflows as you described. Keep tuned 😉

Hi @jnsunkersett

There is a project called easy flows for that. But it is not released yet.

FYI, Easy Flows project has been released. It shares the same philosophy as Easy Rules (and all other projects of jeasy actually).

a workflow is also a series of steps to be taken based on some decision

You should be able to do that with Easy Flows.
It is also planned to add the ability to load workflows from external files (like requested in this issue).

Kind regards
Mahmoud

Hi, I could see / read / checkOut the easy-flows code.However currently busy with some other project (in which I could potentially use easy-flows) In the meantime, keep up the great work.  thanksJeevan On Wednesday, July 5, 2017, 2:16:31 PM GMT+5:30, Mahmoud Ben Hassine <notifications@github.com> wrote: Hi @jnsunkersett Any update on this? — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.

@jnsunkersett Now that #36 is implemented, you can store rules in an external resource (file, db) and load them when needed without recompiling the app. You can already give it a try in v3.1 snapshot. Hope this helps!
