Technical rules

Technical rules are a useful alternative to business rules. They support constructs unavailable in BAL such as loops, and features unavailable in BAL such as explicit IRL mapping.

Technical rules
Technical rules are written using the ILOG Rule Language (IRL). IRL is a Java-like rule language that can be executed directly by the rule engine.
Variables in technical rules
You can define variables in the condition part of a technical rule and use it subsequently.
Technical rule conditions
Conditions are expressed using the class of object being tested followed by an operator. Actions are only executed if all the tests are satisfied.
Technical rule actions
Technical rule actions control execution, make loops, branch, handle exceptions and discriminate between execution branches.
