[rules-users] RuleAgent in webservice

[shekharputtur puttur]

Hi All,
I am  using drools API, and developed a webservice out of it.
I created rule binary package using BRMS Guvnor.
I used RuleAgent to acces the properties file.
ie RuleAgent agent = RuleAgent.newRuleAgent("/
application.properties");
"application.properties"  file was stored in current working directory.
I executed my application using eclipse, it was fine .

For testing  purpose  i  deployed  the application in tomcat application
server.
Now  it is unable to find "application.properties" file. and shows following
in "catalina.out" file:
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.util.Properties$LineReader.readLine(Properties.java:418)
        at java.util.Properties.load0(Properties.java:337)
        at java.util.Properties.load(Properties.java:325)
        at org.drools.agent.RuleAgent.loadFromProperties(RuleAgent.java:299)
        at org.drools.agent.RuleAgent.newRuleAgent(RuleAgent.java:256)
My question is, in which location should i keep the "application.properties"
file , so that RuleAgent can access it.

Could you please tell me the solution.

Thanks & Regards
Shekhar
