Re: [rules-users] how to invoke rest service on drools server with serialized objects

finally realized the answer to my question is "you can't." In case there are other newbies to Camel and Rest out there, I was able to run against drools-server using xstream with the following code: import org.apache.commons.httpclient.Header; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.StringRequestEntity; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.params.HttpClientParams; import org.drools.command.BatchExecutionCommand; import org.drools.command.Command; import org.drools.command.CommandFactory; import org.drools.runtime.help.impl.BatchExecutionHelperProviderImpl; import org.drools.runtime.impl.ExecutionResultImpl; List commands = new ArrayList<Command>(); commands.add(CommandFactory.newSetGlobal("logger", logger)); commands.add(CommandFactory.newInsert(fact)); // fact == my domain object commands.add(CommandFactory.newFireAllRules()); BatchExecutionCommand batchCommand = CommandFactory.newBatchExecution(commands, "workflowKnowledgeSession"); BatchExecutionHelperProviderImpl helper = new BatchExecutionHelperProviderImpl(); String xml = helper.newXStreamMarshaller().toXML(batchCommand); // create http client to perform the post HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(); httpClient.getHostConfiguration().setHost("172.17.4.178", 8280); PostMethod postMethod = new PostMethod("/drools-server/kservice/rest/execute"); StringRequestEntity requestEntity = new StringRequestEntity(xml, "text/plain", "utf-8"); postMethod.setRequestEntity(requestEntity); httpClient.executeMethod(postMethod); assertEquals(200, postMethod.getStatusCode()); Object result = helper.newXStreamMarshaller().fromXML(postMethod.getResponseBodyAsString()); I can see in the drools-server log that my knowledge session is being given the message, and my rule is firing (it writes to the server log). However, I am not getting anything in the response body. I will post that as a separate question. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/rules-users-how-to-invoke-rest-service-...
