[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBRULES-2695) Spring "Drools Resources" Need to be Modular

Spring "Drools Resources" Need to be Modular -------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-2695 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2695 Project: Drools Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: All Affects Versions: 5.1.1.FINAL Environment: N/A Reporter: Anatoly Polinsky Assignee: Mauricio Salatino Labels: drools_spring, spring Fix For: 5.5.0.CR1 Original Estimate: 1 day Remaining Estimate: 1 day When development is done by multiple teams, there should be a way to reference the resources in a modular way. Here is how it is / can be done now ( which is BAD / not modular ): <drools:kbase id="kbase"> <drools:resources> <drools:resource type="DRF" source="classpath:org/drools/container/spring/team1_1.drf"/> <drools:resource type="DRF" source="classpath:org/drools/container/spring/team1_2.drf"/> <drools:resource type="DRF" source="classpath:org/drools/container/spring/team2_1.drf"/> <drools:resource type="DRF" source="classpath:org/drools/container/spring/team2_2.drf"/> <drools:resource ref="team3_1"/> <drools:resource ref="team3_2"/> </drools:resources> </drools:kbase> Since clients need to be aware of _every_ little artifact of individual team, and have to reimport all artifacts into a knowledge base one by one. Here is a better way to do it: <drools:kbase id="kbase"> <drools:resources ref="team1-resources"/> <drools:resources ref="team2-resources"/> <drools:resources ref="team3-resources"/> </drools:kbase> where individual team's config may look as: (e.g. team 1): <drools:resources id="team1-resources"> <drools:resource type="DRF" source="classpath:org/drools/container/spring/team1_1.drf"/> <drools:resource type="DRF" source="classpath:org/drools/container/spring/team1_2.drf"/> </drools:resources/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Long story short: "drools:resources" needs: 1. ID, to be able to ref to it 2. REF, to be able to ref to an ID "drools:kbase" needs: 1. To optionally take a list of "drools:resources" Thank you, /Anatoly
