DSL Mapping files does not support comments and empty lines ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-1295 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1295 Project: JBoss Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Drl Parser/Builder Affects Versions: 4.0.2 Reporter: Edson Tirelli Assigned To: Edson Tirelli Fix For: 4.0.3, 4.1.0 Hi Mark, I encountered a problem in DROOLS 4.0.2 (I was upgrading from 3.x). The problem consists in the fact that the DSL syntax has changed, now it does not accept empty lines, and lines continuing on the new line i.e.: # this is ok # <--- Error, empty line [then] name = java expression 1 \ java expression 2 <--- Error, it does not recognize anymore "\" Now, I have a very large DSL file (sorry, I cannot disclose it) and I'm lazy enough not to edit that one, so instead I patched DROOLs with the following code (see the attached files). The code I added is a bit ugly (I'm in a hurry, always in a hurry :( ) I have done some basic tests, but since they are linked to the files that I cannot disclose (once again, sorry for that) they are not added here. Anyway, here's the patch. Feel free to modify the code. .java - my current version .old - the svn extracted one .diff - unified diff I would have also some comments about the class loaders, but I will need to confirm that before making any comment. Hope it will be included (in this form or another) in the next release.
