Approach to integration between ADF BC application and Oracle Business Rules

[Jakub Pawłowski]

Hi,

I'm looking for advice what is the best practice to use Buisness Rulse engine from SOA Suite to validate data in ADF BC application. I mean not only single attribute validation, but also more complex rules e.g.: localization must have at least one department and department must have at least 3 employees. What are possible approaches for such integration ?

Hi, 

Technically, this might help you achieve what you're looking to do -

However, before trying to do something like this, you should perhaps put things into perspective:

 -  An ADFbc application is perfectly capable of doing the kind of validations you're referring to, so what would be the motivation behind delegating these validations to the rules engine?

-  Will your ADFbc service (API) ever be used to create a department with less than 3 employees? 

- Are you developing a business service or a business process?

An analysis like this will help you avoid problems later. Also look at some simple examples of where the rules engine is best suited:
