The business scenario for the system that is developed in this tutorial is to determine the pricing tier of a customer's insurance policy for a fictitious company, Forward Insurance. Both rulebase authoring and development of Java application are covered. In order for this tutorial to be applicable for both use cases mentioned in Using CA Rule Engine, extra requirements that simulate one or the other situations will be added in the course of this tutorial.
At Forward Insurance, the pricing tier is determined on the basis of the customer's financial stability as well as information on the level of liability involved in the policy. Additional rules are used to determine the customer's financial stability. This example represents these rules as decision trees that can be mapped directly to rule structures in RDL.
