Description

To be complete the servicemix 3.2.1 drools components, require some enhancements:

1) There's the need to support a default destination, where exchange will be routed if none rules in the drools file is verified.
To support this, we need to provide a way to specify default destinations. there will be a defaultTargetService ( QName ) attribute and a defaultTargetURI attribute in drools endpoint class. ( defaultTargetURI will have the precedence on defaultTargetServiceAttribute)

2) We must add the possibility to configure not only global "objects" for memory but also a list of "asserted objects" to be asserted in memory ( so it's possible to use that objects in LHS part of rules )

3) The actual code of jbi helper does not care about sender and correlation id.

4) We need a method in jbi helper object to support the concept of fault withn the flow, ( to default destination ) without generate a jbi fault. a fault in flow from jbi point of view is a "correct" normalized message.

The attached patches solve all the above in a very generic way.
