Architecture :: Create A Rules Engine With Another Programmer For A Company?
Mar 11, 2011
I have been assigned the task to create a rules engine with another programmer for a company. They want it totally dynamic (parameterized sql type dynamic, no inline or any wishy washy coding practices). So I have ended up with no idea what to really aim at since this is the first time for this type of project. I am hoping someone has some ideas if they have experience this before. I am thinking of going in this direction.
I am building a web application that has multiple alternative paths to most of the use cases. These paths I perceive as business rules. I would like to code my application first for main scenarios and then apply alternative scenarios as business rules (rules can be added and removed even when application is in production).I think my application deserves a rule engine. I haven't used any in the past. So I have few queries, but before that here is the profile of my application:
Web based application (data intensive)Somewhat critical (related to health care) - dynamism needs to be accounted for Microsoft .Net platform (ASP.Net, MS SQL Server, WCF)Here are some queries:
How best to externalize rules?
Is it possible to apply rules immediately or batch-wise is the only possibility?
How can Business User be in control of rules?
What best (suitable) rule engine is there? (I prefer to accommodate an open source product)
I have a simple database search engine set up on my company's intranet and I'd like to add auto-complete... Can somebody walk me through this? The database is Access. I'll need to make sure I'm using parameterized queries as well.
am having a similar problem. can anyone help me. The files are uploaded here[URL]I am not a programmer and the programmer who designed the form is not available now. If it possible add an loading status icon. so the users can wait for the menu to expand. How to do it?
I need to create a search engine for my website that searches my entire content and files stored in a database.What is the best way and easy to accomplish this?If can, please provide a few samples or links.
not sure if I'm posting to the right thread or not.. but here is the questiondoes anyone know how to implement a best pratice on SEO?One of the example is: if the user types "brand new canon camera" then I want the system to find a sequence of string in the database that contains "new", "cannon", "camera". It is ok with or without the word "brand". However if the user types "HP laptop DV1000" and i want the system to find all HP laptop whether new or not but limited to specific series.
Is there a way to be able to create a new database when a company signs up to my site, and be able to use that database when he/she logs in, so for example if company A logs in he uses CompanyA database and if company B logs in he uses Company B database, now they all have the same table structure, just need to figure out a way to use a specific database depending on the user that logs in.
I'm using vs 2005 and asp.net 2.0 to create my website. Recently, I thought about applying membership instead of my customized security system in order to achieve higher security level and performance. At first thing went well, since it was easy to create/manage users and Role names from behind code, but when I came upon the "Access Rules" I faced what you can call it an 'obstacle' at least from my opinion.
The thing is, I don't want to use Asp.net Web Site Administration Tool to create and manage my access rules which I'm going to assign to each of my dynamically created Roles. What I want to be able to do is make a page where the Admin can create/manage his desired Role(s) and also, create/manage the Access Rules, then add such Access Rules to the previously created Role(s).
Now, what I need to know first is... is it even possible to do such thing in the first place? Because the way i understand it is, since the access rules are stored in the web.config of each folder/directory that you apply them on then it shouldn't be allowed to modify it from the running/published website.
I'm looking to create a webpage that will reflect the status of one of my company's servers automatically. Frequently there will be a minor error that only lasts 2-3 minutes, and it would be great to have this reflected on a self-generated page, which might prevent 50-60 unhappy clients from calling in simultaneously and asking what's wrongI'm not quite sure where to begin I'm not referring to the basics of writing an ASP.NET page, of course, but rather process interaction in Windows.
I am currently useing forms authenticantion with users set up with the Membership API and I have there other information like first name and work phone number stored useing the Profiles API. I want to create a company directory useing a grid view to display every user and there profile information. I can use Membership.GetAllUsers() or ProfileManager.GetAllProfiles() but it does not list any of the custom profile information like name and phone. What is the best way to get a grid view to show all the user information?
I am try to create architecture design for WCF service.
We have WCF service that we have to expose to third party so then can request with xml and get back xml response.
The wcf service should do the following:
- Accept the request call with xml
- Check xml against the schema
- Parse the xml
- Authenticate the incoming xml by username and password that will be in xml
- Send back the response
If anybody can let me know what kind of design I can use or is there any pattern available that I can take it and then extend it as per my requirement.
I would love to create a search field on my master page that returns a page full of results.
It seems simple to me. I need it to search each of my tabels. aka(Customers, Loan Information, Real Estate, Vehicles) I want a repeater or datalist of sometype that hyperlinks to a details view page for each of the tables(easy to do).
I don't know the best way to tackle this. It is a local intranet application so I was thinking about possibly just passing the words or numbers in the textbox to a query string then running a sql command for each of the tables and returning data in a datalist for each table?
Would that work or is there a simple way to do this? It would be nice for it to highlight the match? What should my sql commands look like?
Using the Razor engine how do I create Partial Views. Do I create a normal View and calling the PartialView() in the controller will only output the body content and when calling View() in the controller will output the full page with layout. If not, do I need to create specific Partial Views and then use RenderPartial in the View.
I was tasked to create 3 tier web application. However, i browsed through many books & tutorials. The examples are doing it using Object data source which my lecturers claimed that it is not 3 tier at all. Shouldn't be dragging any data source into deisgn view. Any comprehensive examples for me to take reference from?
What's the best way to go about learning PHP when I've been doing ASP/ASP.NET? I'm not sure it's worth the time, but there seem to be so many projects doing it. What do you think? Anyone crossed the worlds? How did you do it?
Im having to update a class that was being used for security validation thru our active directory. i found where i need to add the new security groups allowed to use the application, but everyone within the new groups are not allowed access. I found this bit of code that seems to be trimming the groups name, so could be reason why the new groups dnt work, since they arent named the same as the others. what they were doing so i can update it.
While passing through code in our project I came across a web method that had this code at the end of it:
thread.sleep(6000); return true;
Now, this was done so the jQuery ajax call from the client gets delayed and the ajax animation will show for a little bit longer. This is very wrong in my eyes. There shouldn't be this kind of connection between UI and server side. If he wants the animation to take longer he can use the setTimeOut function in the client side. Here is my problem: how can I explain to the programmer why this is so wrong? Not just because the client/server thing, but why ever call thread.sleep on a website?
The programmer is a C# ASp.NET Developer and is looking to learn his first scripting language. Unfortunately he never had to use it before. He is also looking for something that can be good for his career growth.
What should a web programmer keep in his mind while creating a web application ?What should he keep in his mind i.e. using Session variables, Global.asax file etc.
I have a third party dll and i need to add some more functionalities (methods, constants etc..) so create a wrapper class. I have no idea about wrapper classes. what is the purpose of this and how to create in .NET for this 3rd party dll.
I am using asp.net 3.5 and I am trying to create a project structure (asp.net web solution with UI/Business/Data access) which would be like a base and ready for any new projects in my team and all could use this standard structure only as a base(outer boundary) and they can expand the structure. Also adding on to it I wanted to include certain features like adding libraries of reusable code/functions, so that every team member could use functions from my library within this base structure. To summarize the above, I need to create standard .net project structure/framework/architecture with resusable code library included in it. How can I do this..
