ILOG JRules User Guide > Deploying Rules > Tasks > Creating RuleApp Projects

In order to deploy a ruleset to Rule Execution Server, you need to create a RuleApp project and add a ruleset archive to it. Ruleset archives can be added to a RuleApp project from either a ruleset archive .jar file, or a rule project.

In Rule Studio, a RuleApp is handled as an Eclipse project, and is deployed to a running Rule Execution Server through the RuleApp project.

Note

Rule Studio extracts a ruleset archive from a rule project for you.

To create a RuleApp project:

  1. On the File menu, click New Project.
  2. On the Select a Wizard page, expand ILOG Rule Studio and select RuleApp Project.
  3. Click Next.
  4. On the RuleApp Project page, enter the name of the project, then click Next.
  5. Optionally, add ruleset archives to the project using the wizard, as follows:
    1. On the Rule Projects tab, click Add and select a rulel project from the list displayed.
    2. If you want to use an extractor to filter rules contained in the project, click the Extractor radio button and select the required extrator from the list displayed.
    3. Click OK.
    4. Click the Ruleset Archives tab.
    5. To select ruleset archives from the workspace, click Add, select the archives you want to add to the RuleApp project, then click OK.
    6. To select ruleset archives from outside the workspace, click Add External, select the required archives, then click Open.
  6. Click Finish.
  7. The RuleApp project is created and is added to the list of projects. The RuleApp project editor opens automatically.
