IlrDefaultEvent	Deprecated As of IBM Decision Server 7.5, event processing is deprecated.
IlrFunction	Instances of the `IlrFunction` class are functions in a ruleset.
IlrPackage	This class models the packages in the IRL language.
IlrPackageFilter	This class implements an agenda filter that tests whether a rule belongs to a package.

Exception Summary
Exception	Description
IlrBadContextException	This exception is thrown when there is a mismatch between execution context classes.
IlrNoSuchFunctionException	This exception is thrown by the method `IlrContext.invokeFunction(String,java.lang.Object[])` when the invoked function is unknown.
IlrRulesetLockedException	This exception is returned by a modification method of the ruleset when the ruleset is locked.
IlrRuntimeException	This exception is the base class of all the runtime exceptions thrown by the rule engine during the execution of rules.
IlrSystemRuntimeException	This exception is thrown when JRules detects an error at runtime.
IlrToolConnectionException	This exception is thrown when a connection to an `IlrTool` fails.
IlrUndefinedMainTaskException	This exception is thrown when the execution of a ruleflow whose main task has not been defined is required.
IlrUndefinedTaskException	This exception is thrown when a reference is done to a task that has not been defined in the ruleset.
IlrUserActionException	This exception is thrown by the methods `IlrContext.send(java.lang.Object)` and `IlrContext.send(java.lang.String,java.lang.Object)`.
IlrUserRuntimeException	This exception is thrown each time JRules detects an error at runtime.

Package ilog.rules.engine Description

Provides the core classes of the IBM Decision Server classic rule engine. The IlrRuleset class is used to define rules, and the IlrContext class is used to execute the rules. These two classes are the main classes of the classic rule engine.

This package also offers the interfaces that allow users to define customized behaviors within the rule engine, such as demons and collections of objects.
