ILOG JRules User Guide > Optimizing Execution > Concepts > The Configuration Resource File

The rule engine can be set up for operation in a particular way using a configuration resource. A configuration resource can be a file, a reader, or a stream. It is first read by the rule engine; the content is then used to parameterize the engine's internal algorithms. The configuration resource also provides the information that defines optimization and special methods that are introduced to enhance the performance of the rule engine.
