ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for identifying decision points in Business Objects and classifying business rules that are applicable to the decision points. Business Objects are created which are decorated with business rules, either manually or programmatically. Control Points are used to represent the named decision points or triggers within the behavior of the Business Objects. The Control Points are visually exposed to business analysts to allow the examination of the business rules attached to the various Control Points. The business analysts are permitted to manually attach or detach business rules associated with the Control Points. A system can programmatically decide which rules to attach to a Control Point based on execution context.
