createRuleSets

public RuleSets createRuleSets(String referenceString)
                        throws RuleSetNotFoundException

Create a RuleSets from a comma separated list of RuleSet reference IDs. This is a convenience method which calls RuleSetReferenceId.parse(String), and then calls createRuleSets(List). The currently configured ClassLoader is used.

referenceString - A comma separated list of RuleSet reference IDs.

Returns:

The new RuleSets.

Throws:

RuleSetNotFoundException - if unable to find a resource.

createRuleSets

public RuleSets createRuleSets(List<RuleSetReferenceId> ruleSetReferenceIds)
                        throws RuleSetNotFoundException

Create a RuleSets from a list of RuleSetReferenceIds. The currently configured ClassLoader is used.

Parameters:

ruleSetReferenceIds - The List of RuleSetReferenceId of the RuleSets to create.

Returns:

The new RuleSets.

Throws:

RuleSetNotFoundException - if unable to find a resource.

createRuleSet

public RuleSet createRuleSet(String referenceString)
                      throws RuleSetNotFoundException

Create a RuleSet from a RuleSet reference ID string. This is a convenience method which calls RuleSetReferenceId.parse(String), gets the first item in the List, and then calls createRuleSet(RuleSetReferenceId). The currently configured ClassLoader is used.

Parameters:

referenceString - A comma separated list of RuleSet reference IDs.

Returns:

A new RuleSet.

Throws:

RuleSetNotFoundException - if unable to find a resource.

createRuleSet

public RuleSet createRuleSet(RuleSetReferenceId ruleSetReferenceId)
                      throws RuleSetNotFoundException

Create a RuleSet from a RuleSetReferenceId. Priority filtering is ignored when loading a single Rule. The currently configured ClassLoader is used.

Parameters:

ruleSetReferenceId - The RuleSetReferenceId of the RuleSet to create.

Returns:

A new RuleSet.

Throws:

RuleSetNotFoundException - if unable to find a resource.
