OK, in which case I don't believe there is an alternative to what you are attempting.<br><br>Technology aside the requirement is the same:-<br><ul><li>Download remote resource (JARs in your case)<br></li><li>Add resource to local environment (JARs to required classpath in your case)<br>
</li></ul>My advice would have been:-<br><ul><li>Use the REST API to retrieve a list of assets.</li><li>Iterate list identifying which assets are model JARs</li><li>Iterate JAR list and use REST API to download binary</li>
</ul>How you add the binary to your classpath is up to you.<br><br>This is obviously what you are doing.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/1/25 Voradov <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:madalin100884@yahoo.com">madalin100884@yahoo.com</a>></span><br>

I have a remote Guvnor server, not a local one and I had tried to set up a changeset.xml with PKG type links to the remote contained packages, in order to load in a local running agent those packages.<br><br>But it was not enough.<br>
When loading the packages, it does not know to load also the jar files, so because of this, somehow the jars should be added in the classpath. At this moment i ended by filling the classpath of my local running eclipse with all the local jars in order to create a running knowledge agent.<br>
<br>I can use REST protocol to get all packages, and from there to obtain the URL of the contained jars from each package and to programmatically download locally the jars in a folder and after that, for each of them to do something like this <br>

but it seems not.<br><br>At this moment I cannot see any other option, than this one. I had read the entyre documentation, but i did not find something like this explained. Could you help me? Do you have an idea about how to do this more easier than presented above?<br>

What is it you are trying to achieve?<br><br>If the change set contains DRL items the Classes used therein will need to be on your client-side classpath (as explained in Esteban's blog). If you want to use rules authored in Guvnor and Types declared in (or uploaded to) Guvnor you should use the PKG resource type in your change-set and build the package in Guvnor. I don't believe you should need to use a custom class loader *unless* you really want only the DRL in your change-set but your model classes only in Guvnor.<br>

Hi, Esteban, Hi srinivasasanda.<br>
<br>
My opinion regarding the issue posted by srinivasasanda is the following:<br>
<br>
Having the changeset filled with DRL's taken from local jBoss application<br>
and using it in a java local running knowledge agent which has not added<br>
into the classpath the fact models will fail, of course with that<br>
/"java.lang.RuntimeException: KnowledgeAgent exception while trying to<br>
deserialize KnowledgeDefinitionsPackage"./<br>
<br>
On the other hand, when having changeset.xml set as:<br>
/<add><br>
<resource source='file:D:\rulemaster.drl' type='DRL' /><br>
</add>/<br>
is working because it seems that the fact models used in defining those<br>
packages are in the classpath.<br>
<br>
REST protocol is used correctly in the changeset.xml.<br>
<br>
The problem with remotely loading pkg\drl files using REST is that you<br>
should somehow specify a custom classloader, like this:<br>
<br>
/KnowledgeBaseConfiguration kbaseConfig =<br>
KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBaseConfiguration(null,<br>
*customClassLoader*);<br>
KnowledgeBase kbase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase(kbaseConfig);<br>
//kbase with custom classloader<br>
KnowledgeAgentConfiguration aconf =<br>
KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgentConfiguration();<br>
aconf.setProperty("drools.agent.useKBaseClassLoaderForCompiling", "true");<br>
KnowledgeAgent kagent = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent("test<br>
agent", kbase, aconf);<br>
kagent.applyChangeSet(ResourceFactory.newFileResource(changeSetFile));/<br>
<br>
My question is: is there any possibility to create the classloader identical<br>
to the remote classloader used by guvnor? if yes, could you please show us<br>
exactly how to load remotelly from guvnor?<br>
<br>
Here, at<br>
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://ilesteban.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/knowledge-agent-custom-class-loaders/" link="external" target="_blank">http://ilesteban.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/knowledge-agent-custom-class-loaders/</a><br>

there is described how to create a custom classloader, but it is not<br>
specified how to create it based on the Guvnor's jar files already existing<br>
there.<br>
