public class BusinessRule
extends _BusinessRule

A business object that will hold the information about the rules to be executed. A BusinessRule is a business object that will be linked to the RuleSet using a binary link RuleLink. The business rule object is executed as a part of the business rules engine execution plan. A set of rules are fetched for a rule set key, which is then executed by the rules engine to evaluate a particular rule. The results are populated in a validation object for each rule and returned as a set from the business rules engine.
The config attribute is used to hold the serialized information for executing the rule. At the rule execution, the config attribute will be de-serialized map, the structure should will be a key / value pair construct. For example, in the state check rule, key could be, "Release" --> "RELEASED,RESOLVED" and "PRE_RELEASE" --> "PROTOTYPE".
