drools-ant task and java.lang.ClassCastException: org.drools.reteoo.ReteooRuleBase ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBRULES-1327 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1327 Project: JBoss Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 4.0.3 Environment: Windows XP / Eclipse 3.2 Reporter: Brugger Antony Priority: Blocker I try to use the drools-ant task to generate a package file like this: <target name="rules2" > <rulebase srcdir="../src/main/rules" tofile="../rulePackage/bcpRules.rules" classpathref="bcp.classpath" > <include name="testRuleBcp.drl" /> </rulebase> </target> it is working. But when I try to use it in my Java code with this code: RuleAgent agent = RuleAgent.newRuleAgent("/ruleAgent.properties"); RuleBase ruleBase = agent.getRuleBase(); ruleAgent.properties file: ## ## RuleAgent configuration file ## dir=./rulePackage poll=30 name=MyBcpConfig I have the following exception: RuleAgent(MyBcpConfig) INFO (Thu Nov 15 16:16:20 CET 2007): Configuring with newInstance=false, secondsToRefresh=30 RuleAgent(MyBcpConfig) INFO (Thu Nov 15 16:16:20 CET 2007): Configuring package provider : DirectoryScanner scanning dir: .\rulePackage found 1 file(s). java.lang.ClassCastException: org.drools.reteoo.ReteooRuleBase at org.drools.agent.FileScanner.readPackage(FileScanner.java:109) at org.drools.agent.FileScanner.getChangeSet(FileScanner.java:79) at org.drools.agent.FileScanner.loadPackageChanges(FileScanner.java:57 Indeed when I look at the code: - in the ant task org.drools.contrib.DroolsCompilerAntTask, this is a RuleBase object that is serialized: private void serializeRulebase(RuleBase ruleBase) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException { ObjectOutputStream outstream = null; try { FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(toFile); outstream = new ObjectOutputStream(fout); outstream.writeObject(ruleBase); } finally { if (outstream != null) { outstream.close(); } } } - in the ruleAgent class org.drools.agent.FileScanner is expecting a Package object to deserialized at line 109: p1_ = (Package) in.readObject(); hence the ClassCastException... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
