Writing a XOM using Java-like syntax

You can write an execution object model (XOM) using Java-like syntax.

About this task

To write a XOM using Java-like syntax, you use the API from the ilog.rules.bom.serializer package.

The following example creates the class Person using that syntax.

Procedure

To write a XOM:

Create the class.

package mypackage.binding;

public class Person
  extends ilog.rules.factory.IlrHashObject
  property "ilog.rules.engine.driver"
           "ilog.rules.factory.IlrHashDriver"
{
  public java.lang.String name;
  public int age;
  public Person();
}

For the class to be read, create a reader with the above content.

Load the reader into the XOM.

import ilog.rules.bom.util.*;

Reader reader = ...;
try
{
  new IlrJavaSerializer().readObjectModel(reflect,reader);
}
catch(IlrSyntaxError ex)
{
  // we have to process the syntax error
      String[] messages = error.getErrorMessages();
    for (int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++) {
      System.err.println(messages[i]);
    }
    System.err(error.getMessage());
}
