yeah they shouldn't be anything too special - Joe in ear directly or web apps lib? (I would think the former would work better). On Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 2:40 AM, Joe White <Joe.White(a)recondotech.com&gt; wrote: -- Michael D Neale home: www.michaelneale.net blog: michaelneale.blogspot.com

I agree with Michael that web apps lib is the best scenario. We provision ours in an ear directly. I should qualify that though in that we use a third party project along with Drools and Jboss that leads us to put other jars in an ear. I believe the most important thing is to be consistent in terms of handling all libraries. So I think the best practice is to be consistent with all jars, and expose them whenever possible.

Are their any guidelines from experienced enterprise systems techs for deploying applications in JBoss that rely on third party JARs. If we deploy the JARs in our EAR, like Joe suggests, we are assured that our app will use the versions of the JARs we've tested against which improves reliability for our app. If we deploy the JARs to the web apps lib, the enterprise has a central repository for the JARs and can (idealistically) resolve bug fixes in multiple applications at once by upgrading a central component - such as drools. Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Deploy-rules-to-JBoss-server-tp20194303p20251471.h tml Sent from the drools - user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
