Integration and Deployment
Java API
A compact Java API lets applications supply their own business objects, execute a model goal, and receive the resulting decision.
Core API
Invoke a decision in four steps.
OpenRules provides the DecisionModel and Goal classes for goal-oriented decision modeling. Generated launchers demonstrate how to run a model against real application data.
- Create the generated
DecisionModelclass whose name is configured byMODEL_NAME. - Create a
Goalfrom the model. - Use your own objects as the business concepts required by the goal.
- Call
goal.execute()to produce the decision.
Vacation Days example
Application data becomes decision-model input.
The standard Vacation Days model includes a Launcher.java example. It calculates vacation days for Mary Grant, but the employee object could come from a database, a user interface, or JSON.
Deployment options

Each option uses the same business-owned OpenRules decision model.
