Trying to point at Guvnor with a URL, and the JBoss console indicates that Guvnor is being properly hit. However, the following test case succeeds only when I leave the try..catch clauses in both locations; if I remove the try..catch clauses then the code does not finish (does not fail). However, even when the unit test passes, I get the console message that follows the test case. The model itself already has an import and declaration of the class in question (top of source as reported by Guvnor is also shown). I am confused by the fact that this test passes when I add the try .. catch clauses (probably my Java naivete) but more perplexed because of the exception. Have also uploaded the test case code and the DRL downloaded from Guvnor in case it would be helpful. Assistance greatly appreciated. - Mike http://www.nabble.com/file/p22100280/KnowledgeFromGuvnorTest.java KnowledgeFromGuvnorTest.java http://www.nabble.com/file/p22100280/glucose.decision.rules.drl glucose.decision.rules.drl TEST CASE package drools.engine; import static org.junit.Assert.*; import java.util.Collection; import org.drools.KnowledgeBase; import org.drools.KnowledgeBaseFactory; import org.drools.builder.KnowledgeBuilder; import org.drools.builder.KnowledgeBuilderFactory; import org.drools.builder.ResourceType; import org.drools.definition.KnowledgePackage; import org.drools.io.ResourceFactory; import org.junit.Test; public class KnowledgeFromGuvnorTest { private KnowledgeBase kbase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase(); private KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder = KnowledgeBuilderFactory .newKnowledgeBuilder(); @Test public void testKnowledgeEngineFromURL(){ KnowledgeEngineFromGuvnor engine; try { engine = new KnowledgeEngineFromGuvnor("http://localhost:8080/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/glucose.decision.rules/LATEST", true); }catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); engine = null; } assertNotNull("Knowledge engine should not be null", engine); assertFalse("There should not be builder errors", kbuilder.hasErrors()); } public class KnowledgeEngineFromGuvnor { public KnowledgeEngineFromGuvnor(String url, boolean guvnor) { super(); System.out.println("Pushing URL into kbuilder"); try { kbuilder.add(ResourceFactory.newUrlResource(url), ResourceType.PKG); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Error occurred when URL was passed"); e.printStackTrace(); } if (kbuilder.hasErrors()) { System.out.println(kbuilder.getErrors().toString()); System.out.println("Unable to compile " + url + "."); throw new RuntimeException("Bad things happened in KnowledgeEngineFromGuvnor"); } final Collection<KnowledgePackage> pkgs = kbuilder .getKnowledgePackages(); kbase.addKnowledgePackages(pkgs); } } } SYSTEM CONSOLE OUTPUT Pushing URL into kbuilder Error occurred when URL was passed org.drools.RuntimeDroolsException: unable to resolve Type Declaration class 'GlucoseDecisionState' at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.addPackage(PackageBuilder.java:766) at org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder.addKnowledgeResource(PackageBuilder.java:521) at org.drools.builder.impl.KnowledgeBuilderImpl.add(KnowledgeBuilderImpl.java:30) at drools.engine.KnowledgeFromGuvnorTest$KnowledgeEngineFromGuvnor.<init>(KnowledgeFromGuvnorTest.java:43) at drools.engine.KnowledgeFromGuvnorTest.testKnowledgeEngineFromURL(KnowledgeFromGuvnorTest.java:27) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.junit.internal.runners.TestMethodRunner.executeMethodBody(TestMethodRunner.java:99) at org.junit.internal.runners.TestMethodRunner.runUnprotected(TestMethodRunner.java:81) at org.junit.internal.runners.BeforeAndAfterRunner.runProtected(BeforeAndAfterRunner.java:34) at org.junit.internal.runners.TestMethodRunner.runMethod(TestMethodRunner.java:75) at org.junit.internal.runners.TestMethodRunner.run(TestMethodRunner.java:45) at org.junit.internal.runners.TestClassMethodsRunner.invokeTestMethod(TestClassMethodsRunner.java:66) at org.junit.internal.runners.TestClassMethodsRunner.run(TestClassMethodsRunner.java:35) at org.junit.internal.runners.TestClassRunner$1.runUnprotected(TestClassRunner.java:42) at org.junit.internal.runners.BeforeAndAfterRunner.runProtected(BeforeAndAfterRunner.java:34) at org.junit.internal.runners.TestClassRunner.run(TestClassRunner.java:52) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit4.runner.JUnit4TestReference.run(JUnit4TestReference.java:45) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.TestExecution.run(TestExecution.java:38) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:460) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:673) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.run(RemoteTestRunner.java:386) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java:196) TOP OF SOURCE FROM GUVNOR package glucose.decision.rules import glucose.decision.object.GlucoseDecision; import glucose.decision.object.GlucoseDecisionState; declare GlucoseDecision @propertyChangeSupport end declare GlucoseDecisionState @propertyChangeSupport end (WHOLE BUNCH OF RULES FOLLOW) JBOSS CONSOLE OUTPUT 06:08:33,104 INFO [STDOUT] PackageName: glucose.decision.rules 06:08:33,104 INFO [STDOUT] PackageVersion: LATEST 06:08:33,105 INFO [STDOUT] PackageIsLatest: true 06:08:33,105 INFO [STDOUT] PackageIsSource: false -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Type-Declaration-exception-from-Guvnor-tp22100280p2...
