To access a Rule Execution Server repository factory and perform management tasks using the public API you need to call the getRepositoryFactory method on the session bean named IlrManagementSession. This session bean has the same provider as the JRules rule sessions and safeguards the user from the Common Client Interface (CCI) connection of the Execution Unit (XU).

• If the J2SE rule session provider (IlrJ2SERuleSessionProvider) is used, the getRepository method returns a J2SE repository factory. The factory allows you to create a RuleApp/ruleset, export a RuleApp archive, and so on.
• If the Simple rule session provider is used (IlrSimpleRuleSessionProvider), the getRepository method returns a JMX repository factory. The factory allows you to create a RuleApp/ruleset, export a RuleApp archive, and so on. The repository is directly connected to the management MBeans of the Rule Execution Server Console.

The repository factory interface provides a createRepository method that creates a RuleApp information container and allows you to add and remove RuleApps.
