XLS decision tables are not converted into GuidedDecisionTable52 models, only as the class name suggests &quot;guided&quot; decision tables authored in Guvnor. I am however working on providing BRL columns in the guided decision table (which will include free-format DRL) which is a pre-cursor for round-tripping between XLS-&gt;Guvnor guided dtables-&gt;XLS. <br>

    I can&#39;t see anything telling that XLS tables are converted to guided
    tables in this chapter ... and I am not sure of how it could be done
    safely (semantics are not really equivalent).<br>
    <br>
    To me, the only thing you can do with an uploaded XLS, is to
    download it back (may be using &quot;/binary&quot;) and save the response to a
    file) and then manipulate it with something like POI ou JXLS ...
    before re-PUTting it in Guvnor.<br>
    <br>
    But this doc do use &quot;/source&quot;. Is that a doc mistake ? <br>

                  <div>I followed Vincent&#39;s link and as he says,
                    invoking any of those rest apis returns a valid xml
                    instead of the DRL. The problem is that the XML
                    describes the metadata of the package or the asset
                    itself but it doesn&#39;t provide information on the
                    excel spreadsheet that was used to create the
                    decision table. Therefore, the parser can&#39;t
                    unmarshall that XML into a valid
                    GuidedDecisionTable52 instance.</div>

                                  Hi all,<br>
                                  <br>
                                  I&#39;m not listed in people you would
                                  like to answer, but there is something
                                  that could be the main problem here.<br>
                                  <br>
                                  In your URL, you use &quot;source&quot;, so it
                                  is normal that you get the
                                  corresponding DRL in response :
                                  <div><br>
                                    String<br>
content=client.path(&quot;guvnor-webapp-${project.version}/rest/packages/essaiRest/assets/tab2/<big><big><b>source</b></big></big>&quot;).accept(&quot;text/plain&quot;).get(String.class);<br>
                                    <br>
                                  </div>
                                  If you want the XML, ie the asset XML
                                  representation in the repository,
                                  don&#39;t use &quot;source&quot;. I am not very sure
                                  of the correct URL to use, but
                                  according to <a href="http://blog.athico.com/2011/03/atompub-interface-for-guvnor.html" target="_blank">http://blog.athico.com/2011/03/atompub-interface-for-guvnor.html</a>,
                                  it should be the same, without
                                  &quot;/source&quot; at end, and then you should
                                  get the XML in the response. May be
                                  you should use &quot;Application/XML&quot; in
                                  the accept instead of &quot;text/plain&quot;.<br>
