@Mark
Hope married life is treating you well (yep, it's been that long!)
The code that I'm using to Package up the Drools Rules is at the link below. Pretty much just serializing the KnowledgeBase to a file, that is later
read in via a URL when it is deployed on App Engine ; Encountered plenty
of java.io.File restrictions, but no problems at all around the bytecode (at the moment the code is generated within Eclipse, using the GAE plugin, which modifies Java not Rule
code after the normal compile) .
http://code.google.com/p/red-piranha/source/browse/trunk/src/net/firstpartners/drools/PreCompileRuleBuilder.java
Will try to package create a patch using GIT - give me a couple of days to figure that out!
@salaboy
It's a very basic feature set at the moment; Just rule load, insert facts, globals and get output.
The online sample loads a spreadsheet, rules fire that update the spreadsheet, marks the changed cells in Orange. I have the simple sample deployed as of today (17th Jan '11) - might take down or modify later).
Original Spreadsheet; http://red-piranha.appspot.com/spreadsheet/chocolate-data.xls
Rules file; http://red-piranha.appspot.com/spreadsheet/log-then-modify-rules.drl
Run the sample online; http://red-piranha.appspot.com/ - check out the 'log' tab in the spreadsheet to see what rules have fired.
Red-Piranha project aim is to make the power of Drools available to Excel users *without* Java code. Number 1 complaint about my book was the 'techie setup bit' in Chapter 2 (remember the audience was Excel power users); Deploying online allows people to try without the setup.
So, most of the features I want to add will be case-by-case as needed by the samples. It would be *cool* to compile the rules online; When I tried this 12 months ago there were problems with the Apache Mvel library so I may be brave enough to try again later, but current priority is to get the Core / Runtime changes submitted as a JIRA patch.

Folks,
A little bit later than expected (!) I've managed to get Drools running
within Google App Engine.
A list of the changes that I made to the Drools Core and Drools Util code
are below. A lot of these changes are NullPointer checks when reading
properties from a file (i.e. things that you might want in the codebase
anyway).
Notes on the sample I used to try this out are at
http://code.google.com/p/red-piranha/wiki/ModifyDroolsRunInGoogleAppEngine
The sample (for the moment) is running a pre-built KnowledgeBase within GAE
(i.e. no rule compilation, nor any of the advanced features).
What is the best way of submitting the actual code changes for review and
possible inclusion as part of the Drools source code?
Thanks
Paul

I thought App Engine wouldn't work with runtime generated bytecode and
had classloader restrictions?

A patch against trunk attached to a jira should suffice, don't forget
we've moved to GIT.

That sounds really nice!
Can you mention the features that you get working? which are left out?
