Hi,
We have a set of rule files in DRL format. We couldn’t find a way (tool) of importing them into Guvnor as BRL file so that we can edit using the designer.
We ended up using the DrlParser and XmlDumper to transform them from DRL to BRL. It produces the XML and when we add it to the repository using WebDav, Guvnor lists the files under Business Rule which is perfect. BUT when I try to open it, it throws the following error:
com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.reflection.AbstractReflectionConverter$Unkno

I am able to re-produce the same error when I try to convert the BRL to DRL using BRDRLPersistence and BRXMLPersistence marshalling and unmarshalling. I checked that the field ‘rule-attribute’ is indeed not present in org.drools.brms.client.modeldriven.brl.RuleModel. when I look at the example brl file from the sample mortgage, they don’t have ‘rule-attribute’, and it’s not only that specific node, the whole set of node names are different.

Reader source = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(fileResource.getFile()));
PackageDescr pkg = parser.parse(source);
String xmlString = dumper.dump(pkg);
System.out.println(xmlString);

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way of converting the DRLs to BRLs?
Thanks in advance!
