JBoss Enterprise BRMS Implementation

Course Description

JBoss Enterprise Business Rules Management System (BRMS) is an open source system that enables easy business policy and rules development, access, and change management.

In this course, you will concentrate on business rules development, and you will learn how to author, test, debug, and control business rules in a production environment. In addition, you will generate rules packages and learn how the BRMS runtime environment executes rules. The principles in this course apply equally to implementing a standalone BRMS solution.
