Using Eclipse BPMN2, I defined some custom drools rulebased work item defintions. In the definitions, I used my custom POJO class objects (e.g., com.mycompany.Xyz, com.mycompany.XyzResult) for service task parameters. e.g.,   [     "name" : "Create XYZ task",     "parameters" : [       "interface" : new StringDataType(),       "xyz" : new ObjectDataType("*com.mycompany.Xyz*")     ],     "results" : [         "result" : new ObjectDataType("*com.mycompany.XyzResult*")     ],     "displayName" : "Create XYZ"   ] - Using Eclipse BPMN2 designer, I applied the above service task into my process definition. - Then, I exported the resource to the Guvnor to store it in Guvnor. - Then, my following code (using KnowledgeAgent) gets the resources from Guvnor. I used the KnowledgeAgent becuase I do NOT want to change code whenever I add new resources, which is not practical!!! private static KnowledgeBase readKnowledgeBase() throws Exception {   KnowledgeAgent kagent = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent("Guvnor default");   kagent.applyChangeSet(ResourceFactory     .newUrlResource(AutomationProperties.getInstance().getProperty("KNOWLEDGE_RESOURCE_URL") +       AutomationProperties.getInstance().getProperty("KNOWLEDGE_RESOURCE_PACKAGE")));   kagent.monitorResourceChangeEvents(false);   KnowledgeBase kbase = kagent.getKnowledgeBase();   return kbase; } I realized that I needed to do one more step from Guvnor before I run my code. That is I need to build a biniary package. So, I clicked the Build Package button from my package. Then, I got an error message, saying that it does not resolve the com.mycompany.Xyz and com.mycompany.XyzResult. It looks like Guvnor was compiling to build a package. Then, I learned there is a menu "Upload POJO Model jar" in Guvnor, and I need to configure the import pacakge for building a binary package, etc....  Here are my questions. - Is it a normal procedure (adding POJO Jars into Guvnor, etc.) to include custom POJO classes in the Service task definitions? - Do I really have to build a binary package for KnowledgeAgent. I want to use Guvnor just for repository system, without those compilations. Since all the jars and classes are alreay defined in the classpath in Eclipse and JEE app server. When I used resourceFactory add, it just needs to bring in resources as resources, instead of bindary packages. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
