Package ilog.rules.factory Description

Contains the Factory API, which provides reflection for IBM Decision Server rules. It contains classes that make up the elements of the rule language. In other terms, the rule language can be represented using instances of classes in this package.

There are different uses for this package:

Construction of customized rule builders.

Reflective requests on a rule base.

Representation of rules using objects for persistence and sharing.

All the classes of this package implement java.io.Serializable, and by this fact can be saved to java.io.ObjectOutputStream and restored from java.io.ObjectInputStream.
