[rules-users] Rule Validation/Package Build Error in Guvnor: ClassNot Found

[Ike]

Jeff

Can't thank you enough. The explanation you gave cleared a number of cobwebs. 
I got all the jars in and do not get anymore class errors however I 
encountered two more issues

(1) Some of the rules validate succesfully within guvnor but I have a couple 
of rules that use maps on which I am getting errors. The map contains objects 
of a certain type Class1 and the map key is a Long (e.g 1L, 2L). The statement 
causing the error is of the format eval(Map[1L].getDirection== Map
[2L].getDirection). The error I get is "unqualified type in strict mode for 
getDirection". I scoured the forums for a solution and learnt that I need to 
cast the object from the map to its specific type before calling any method of 
the class and so I changed it to 
 eval(((Class1)Map[2L]).getDirection == ((Class1)Map[3L]).getDirection) but 
the errors only got worse.

Is there a resolution for this "unqualified type in strict mode" error?

I should also mention that I get no such error when working with the .DRL file 
in my java code outside guvnor.


(b) The second issue I am dealing with involves those rules that validated in 
guvnor (I am running guvnor under JBOSS 4.2.3). I validated and built the 
package successfully (I did not create a snapshot for deployment). I then 
tried to reference the guvnor package to build the rulebase using the 
following java code

RuleAgent agent = RuleAgent.newRuleAgent("guvnor.properties");
RuleBase masterRuleBase = agent.getRuleBase();
 
guvnor.properties contains only one entry url = http://localhost:8080/drools-
guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/SomePackage.drools/LATEST
I got this url from the guvnor deployment page

The error I got when I ran this was "java.io.InvalidCastException: 
org.drools.rule.DialectRuntimeRegistry; local class incompatible: stream 
classdesc serailVersionUID= 5308493362083281112, local class serialVersionID = 
510
Is there a compatibility issue between Guvnor and JBOSS 4.2.3

Thanks
