Package compilation should present an error or warning when a file inside a directory does not declare itself to be in the same package as the other resources in that directory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-2840 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2840 Project: Drools Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: drools-ant, drools-api Affects Versions: 5.1.0.FINAL Environment: Fedora 12, jdk 1.6 Reporter: Alessandro Lazarotti Assignee: Mark Proctor This is a request for an error/warning mechanism in the compiler task. This case presents itself when a person defines a package and makes a unintentional mistake by not defining all the files which are intended to be in the package to be part of the package. If familiarity with drools is low this issue can cause a lot of frustration from not being able to find the issue. If a package is composed of more than one rules source file (i.e a drl + xls + rf) there is an unreported error where the files do not all declare themselves to be of the same package. The compiler will only build the package to include some of the files. Given 3 files in the same directory to be compiled using the drools-ant task org.drools.contrib.DroolsCompilerAntTask process.rf [package rsarules.quote] start-process.drl [package rssrules.quote] quote.xls [package rsarules.quote] using <target name="buildPackage" > <compiler srcdir="${basedir}/src/test/resources/rules" tofile="${basedir}/src/test/resources/rsa.rules.pkg" classpathref="rsa.classpath" binformat="package" > <include name="*.xls"/> <include name="*.drl"/> <include name="*.rf"/> </compiler> </target> In the above example if start-process.drl was read first the resultant package would only contain the start-process.drl rule. If on the other hand the compiler was to read any of the other two files first the package created would not contain start-process.drl. In both cases the resultant rules application would not function as was intended. This is clearly an error but the compiler should flag this. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
