Obviously something like this would be a service that the user would have to configure, but it might be useful to Geronimo users to have a JSR94 compliant rules engine ready to go "out of the box." If we ensured strict JSR94 compliance, then we could keep people from locking into a Geronimo-specific implementation if they wanted to migrate to another platform. The rules engine might also have a standalone component which someone could use if they thought a Geronimo might be overkill for some projects. If anyone thinks this is a worthwhile idea, I'll start cranking out some code. Chris
