Setting Up the Rules and Rule Functions

In TIBCO BusinessEvents, Rules and Rule Functions connect with the Event definitions created earlier to parse the request data, invoke the decision table, and construct the response. The request and response in this example are SOAP based messages.

Note: It is not necessary to invoke a decision table – rules can be written directly in the Java-based rules editor. However, in this example the rule simply acts as the conduit by which the decision table is invoked.
