Hi Everyone,
Following up on my last message. I wanted to share with you the experience I had with Jelastic.
Below the copy of the email I sent to Openrules Support.
Following up your tutorial on Cloud application development, I created a Jelastic account to deploy an OpenRules based
application in pre-production stage I needed to present to a future client this week.
As the goal was to open the application to testing, I turned my free account into a full one and tried to charge it. I was then asked to go to the Lunacloud (their distributor in France) website to complete activation procedure and had no choice but paying there. I then quickly found out that the payment I made on Lunacloud site would not be charged on my Jelastic account and that I needed to pay again....
At that stage, I still thought that a few emails with this company could fix it. I'm actually dealing with their customer service.
But i soon discovered that very basic Openrules features, such as referring to an XLS rules file by its URL, aren't working on this platform. Not to mention the response time that is far behind what you would normally expect from a cloud platform.
I'm sharing this with you in hope that no one else will end up spending half a day trying to get this work after reading your tutorial.
The happy end : it only took me an hour, making coffee included, to set up from scratch a virtual private server at another shop and get my project online.
As a conclusion, I'd be happy to here from you all other experiences with Jelastic as I may not be the ultimate specialist of Openrules cloud implementations.
Best regards,
