Rules Versioning
Rules should be able to be versioned independently of the application code. When a new version of rules is published, the application should load the newly published rules and start running the new rules version in place of the old one.
A couple of things to consider:
- in-flight rules should not break during a rules version update
- version updates should have various modes of scheduling (it could use quartz or EJB timer, perhaps)
Initially, repositories for rules could be Maven. Maybe later, Git could be supported.
Starting off, rules can be maintained in Maven as stated above. However, that doesn't really provide a nice mechanism for storing human readable rules, which are addressed in a separate issue. But for this issue, it will do.
