Abstract

Rule engines have been used successfully in recent years in order to improve the agility of enterprise applications. Most existing rule engines focus on production rules, neglecting another important class of rules, derivation rules. We point out that derivation rules are very useful in many application scenarios, and present Take, a rule compiler for Java. Take compiles derivation rules into optimized, reflective code that can be deployed into running applications.
