Hi Edson, 

thanx for answering, i've tried 4.0.3, but i get the following error when i
try to refresh my rules:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot remove a sink, when the list of
sinks is null
	at org.drools.reteoo.ObjectSource.removeObjectSink(ObjectSource.java:116)
	at org.drools.reteoo.AlphaNode.remove(AlphaNode.java:192)
	at
org.drools.reteoo.LeftInputAdapterNode.remove(LeftInputAdapterNode.java:189)
	at org.drools.reteoo.BetaNode.remove(BetaNode.java:173)
	at org.drools.reteoo.RuleTerminalNode.remove(RuleTerminalNode.java:466)
	at org.drools.reteoo.ReteooBuilder.removeRule(ReteooBuilder.java:224)
	at org.drools.reteoo.ReteooRuleBase.removeRule(ReteooRuleBase.java:270)
	at org.drools.common.AbstractRuleBase.removeRule(AbstractRuleBase.java:614)
	at
org.drools.common.AbstractRuleBase.removePackage(AbstractRuleBase.java:531)
        ...


During refresh i do the following:
      public void refresh() {
		try {
			ruleBase.removePackage("org.sample.mypackage");
			
                        // reading drl files from direcotry and puting them
in the package   

                       ...
                       for(int i = 0; i < size; i++ ) {
				builder.addPackageFromDrl( new
InputStreamReader(getClass().getResourceAsStream( "package" + i + ".drl" ) )
);;
	
			}
			if(ruleBase == null) {
				ruleBase = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase();
			}
			ruleBase.addPackage(builder.getPackage());


		} catch(Exception e) {
			log.error("Error while refreshing rules: ", e);
		}
	}

and one of my .drl files (they all belong to the same package) looks
something like this:

package org.sample.mypackage

import org.sample.Orders;
import org.sample.OrderItem;
import org.sample.service.OrderService;

import java.util.ArrayList
import org.apache.log4j.Logger

global OrderService orderService
global Logger log

rule "Apply Discount"
	when
		orders : Orders();
		items : ArrayList() from collect (
			OrderItem(value > 100) 
			from order.items)
	then 
		log.debug("Apply Discount");
		orderService.applyDiscount(items);
end

were OrderService is a service class that i'm using to do some calculating.

Do you have some idea about what could be causing this error?
