[rules-users] Drools5 in tomcat 5

[Rubén Marrero]

The idea is to use Guvnor as a REST-accessible BRMS. 


We'll design, edit, test rules in guvnor, then execute them from the PHP web app in the background (with cURL or something ) or maybe we'll use proper webservices, as long as we can keep thing simple. 


Since we are already using tomcat 5 as our reporting endpoint, we'd like to just add the guvnor as a web app, as long as guvnor can execute the rules we setup in the nice web interface and respond with a json package to a REST json request. 


Guvnor _does_ execute rules, right? :-) 


I'll try removing the jars you mention and then report back. 


Thx, 
Rubén

I didn't test Guvnor in Tomcat 5, but I did it in Tomcat 6. The only thing you need to do is to remove el-ri-xxx.jar and el-api-xxx.jar from Guvnors libraries (open the war file, browse to WEB-INF/lib and remove the files). This is because Tomcat already provides this libraries. That is the only thing I have to do when I want to use Guvnor deployed in a Tomcat. 
And remember that Drools is just a framework (a bunch of jars if you want), so you can use it everywhere: console app, desktop app, web app. Guvnor is a BRMS that you can use to create your rules, manage their life cycle and set as main repository (You can do more things too). It is important to make this distinction, maybe you just want to use drools expert/flow/fusion and not Guvnor. 


Best,

Hi all: 


I want to add drools to a php application. Currently we are using Tomcat 5 to execute BIRT reports and works great. 


We want to keep using Tomcat (this version in particular) and just drop the Drools WAR so to disturb as little as possible our current setup. 


Is Tomcat 5 a supported platform to run Drools 5? any pointers to current docs? 


Thanks in advance, 
Rubén
