Al Byers updated OFBIZ-2624:

    Attachment: findexistingperson.drl
                PartyImport.java

Just some work I did a couple of years ago with Drools. The original intent was to see if I could use it to determine if two entries in an address list were really the same. Did not get very far.

> Someone asked about adding Drools to OFBiz. I have always thought that it would be a good thing. I looked into it a couple of years ago and did some integration and will contribute what I did.
> At the time I was working on a big government project that used a third party rules-based system for determining eligibility for entitlement distributions. It was the worst possible working environment and I could not believe what a waste of money the whole thing was. At the time I thought that if somebody just integrated Drools with OFBiz it would be a much better environment and instead of costing millions of dollars, it would be free. I did not have time to pursue it, but I still think it would greatly increase the value of OFBiz.
> I am going to attach a couple of files that I did that used the Drools library. I can't remember much about them, but maybe they will help.
