Business Rule Objects
There are three business rule objects:
• BusinessRuleSet—The persistence configuration used to navigate the persistent set of validation business rules for a context. This configuration can be overridden at the context level.
• BusinessRule—Information about the rule to be executed. Each rule can have unique configuration requirements associated with it. The selector is mapped to the actual implemented rule validation class.
• BusinessRuleLink—The object-to-object binary link holding the references to BusinessRuleSet and BusinessRule. Each BusinessRuleSet is associated with a BusinessRule using the BusinessRuleLink.
Each business rule object has a set of attributes:
BusinessRuleSet
uniqueKey, name, description, enabled, overridable
BusinessRule
uniqueKey, name, description, configs, enabled
BusinessRuleLink
blockNumber
