Question Regarding OptaPlanner

[yougal bisht]

Hello,

I am trying use Optaplanner for a project to schedule. This is what I am trying to do.

we have resource Types and there can be my resources of that resource types.

Now for each resource we have calendar, storing booked events.

what we need is for a given order type we have chain of resource types, and we need to book calendar slot using chain of resource types and assign it to the best possible resource of that type defined in chain.

Question-1: Can optaplanner is a good solution for it?

Question-2: Can opta planner work on Calendar, as  what I got from examples is it needs all available time slots. Over here the space is very much. instead of finding next best slot, I have to put all available slots(for a resource).

Can you help me with these.

Thanks
