kieResources.newClassPathResource() violates the Class.getResource() conventions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DROOLS-184 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-184 Project: Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 6.0.0.Beta4 Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet Assignee: Edson Tirelli Suppose I have a jar like this: {code} cheeseProject-1.0.0.jar /org/cheese/MyCheeseApp.class /org/cheese/myCheeseRules.drl {code} There are 2 ways in plain old Java, to get that drl classpath resource: {code} getClass().getResource("/org/cheese/myCheeseRules.drl") // OK getClass().getResource("myCheeseRules.drl") // OK {code} The KnowledgeBase's classpath resource creation expected similar parameters. In KieBase I expected it to work in the same way: {code} kieResources.newClassPathResource("/org/cheese/myCheeseRules.drl") // FAILS kieResources.newClassPathResource("myCheeseRules.drl", MyCheeseApp.class) // FAILS {code} Instead it expects something like this: {code} kieResources.newClassPathResource("src/main/resource/xxx/org/cheese/myCheeseRules.drl") // ??? {code} That's not compatible with the JDK definition of a classpath resource, and therefore shouldn't be called newClassPathResource(...). And I 'd like to be able to use the real newClassPathResource() variation.
