Release Notes
v5.7.1 on the GitHub
New Features
- OpenL Rules project descriptor
An xml configuration can be defined in project with rules to allow different configurations. Users can define which type of instantiation to use and where OpenL will look for Excel file with rules and java class or interface if required.
- OpenL project from single Excel file
OpenL will attempt to load Excel file as OpenL rules module. Users can have just folders with Excel file(s) which OpenL will treat as rules projects.
- Maven based OpenL project
There was added OpenL rules project maven archetype. Users can start using this template for their rules projects.
- OpenL Rules projects resolver
OpenL Rules project descriptor is fully supported in our infrastructure. By convention (without descriptor) Eclipse-template based projects and projects with Excel files only are also supported.
- Runtime context for web services
OpenL Service Frontend supports runtime context enabled services. Enhancer can be switched on in service configuration to enhance Rules service methods with runtime context as the first parameter.
