Re: [rules-users] Resource Change Scanner Service modified date error

As Dean says, getting the modification time of an in-memory resource is impossible (actually you need to create an external mechanism to keep track of it). So I would suggest to change the thrown Exception to something more meaningful and to explicitly document which resources are capable to be scanned for changes. Right now, the Resources capable to being scanned are: - ClasspathResource - UrlResource - FileSystemResource - EncodedResource (depending on the implementation of Resource it is using) @Wolfgang, for non in-memory Resources like files or url resources you can get the last modified time. This is used by the scanner to check if a particular resource has been modified since the last time it was scanned. As Dean mentioned, this is not feasible when the resource is an in-memory resource like a ByteArrayResource.
