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

If your rule project does not reference a Java project as a XOM, you can update the BOM directly from the rule project.

To update the BOM:

  1. In the Rule Explorer, in the bom folder, right-click the BOM entry you want to update, and click BOM Entry > Update.
  2. In the BOM Entry dialog, select the BOM classes that are impacted by changes to the XOM and decide whether you want them to be updated.
  3. Click Finish.
  4. Changes to the XOM are now taken into account in the BOM. Any elements you may have added to the BOM when extending it remain as they are. If they have a BOM to XOM mapping, this mapping is updated. Members that have been modified in the XOM, through a change of name or change to their arguments, are added as new business elements in the BOM.
