ILOG JRules User Guide > Creating Rule Projects > Tasks > Managing XOM Changes in the BOM > Managing Changes to the XOM from a Java Project

If your rule project references a Java project as a XOM, you can update the BOM directly from the Java project.

To manage changes to the XOM:

  1. When you rename an element in a Java XOM, the Rename Compilation Unit dialog displays the impact on the related BOM.
  2. XOM Refactoring
  3. If you accept changes to the BOM, the BOM and its associated vocabulary are automatically updated. Any reference to a XOM class in the BOM to XOM mapping section of a business element is also updated.
