Context is the entry point of the rule engine.

There are several types, depending on the what’s needed (details are in the life cycle description). Each types has to define a subtype for compilation and a subtype for execution.

Context Factory allows to instanciate the good context for a rule engine instance, during automatic compilations for instance. Three factories are available:

• CONTEXT : for minimal context.
• INOUTCONTEXT : for in / out context.
• LISTCONTEXT : for list context.
