Re: [rules-dev] Today's Eleusinian mystery: deserializing a package forchange set monitoring

Not that it necessarily needs to be fixed but in 5.0.1 you could serialize a package just using a regular ObjectOutputStream. Also the guy on the user mailing list was getting an exception using the DroolsObjectOutputStream.

However, you can't simply serialize an org.drools.definition.KnowledgePackage as it is usually done by writing it to an ObjectOutputStream: deserialization in the KnowledgeAgent throws a CCE exception. To make it work, you must use a DroolsObjectOutputStream, which is nothing but a rename of ObjectOutputStream. So I have use DroolsObjectOutputStream, but it is not part of the public API. -W
