Abstract
To improve reusability and adaptation of variable components, rule-based component development has been used. Rule engines usually need additional script languages for rule expression and have difficulty in expressing complex business rules. In this paper, we propose a compiler-based rule engine for rich rule expression and improving performance. This rule engine uses Java programming language to express conditions and action parts of rules and that it can easily express complex business rules. It creates and executes condition and action objects at run time. In view of Performance, the rule engine is better than a script based rule engine. According to our experiments, our compiler-based nile engine shows 2.5 times better performance that script-based JSR 94 rule engine.
