[rules-dev] Automated deployment of repository.xml to Guvnor

I am writing this after going through all the archived lists. My input will be the repository.xml file created from the Guvnor(and stored in SVN), and I have to export it to another(production) guvnor instance. I am trying to automate the process of "Exporting" the repository.xml file to the Guvnor. I tried using the Browser testing tools like HttpUnit, Selenium but since the front-end is gwt based, I am not successful. Now I am trying to use HttpURLConnection, but the server is just returning me a status of "500" when I am trying to hit " http://localhost:12212/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/backup" I would like to know if anyone did something similar to this? This is what I am having right now. String urlString = "http://localhost:12212/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/backup"; try{ URL url = new URL(urlString); conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setDoOutput(true); conn.setDoInput(true); conn.setRequestMethod("POST"); conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml"); conn.setRequestProperty("packageImport", "true"); conn.setRequestProperty("importAsNew", "true"); String proxyCredentials = username + ":" + password; // Configure the connection object to String encodedCredentials = new String(new Base64().encode(proxyCredentials.getBytes()), "ASCII"); encodedCredentials = encodedCredentials.replaceAll("\n", ""); conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedCredentials); int responseCode = conn.getResponseCode(); InputStream in = conn.getErrorStream(); } Or do we have any Drools API for deployment of repository.xml to the repository? Thank you. SRINIVAS
