Re: [rules-users] How to use KnowledgeAgent in the "old manner" (just like RuleAgent)

Hi Mark, sorry, I am still a bit confused..so if you said it works exactly the same way as the old rule agent, that means, the URL I should use in change-set for getting the rules from Guvnor is the one displayed in Package Snapshot (the binary package) like (from the advertising example): <change-set> <add> <resource source='http://localhost:8080/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/Sensis/advertising' <http://www.domain.com/test.drl%27> type='??(which type)??' /> OR

<resource source='http://localhost:8080/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/Sensis/LATEST.drl' type='DRL' /> </add> </change-set> and getting the session as follows: private final String CHANGE_SET = "/changeset.xml"; ResourceChangeScannerConfiguration sconf = ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService() .newResourceChangeScannerConfiguration(); sconf.setProperty("drools.resource.scanner.interval", "30"); ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService().configure(sconf); this.kbase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase(); KnowledgeAgentConfiguration aconf = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgentConfiguration(); aconf.setProperty("drools.agent.scanDirectories", "true"); aconf.setProperty("drools.agent.newInstance", "true"); KnowledgeAgent kagent = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent("kagent", this.kbase, aconf); kagent.applyChangeSet(ResourceFactory.newFileResource(this.CHANGE_SET)); session = kagent.getKnowledgeBase().newStatelessKnowledgeSession(); Thanks Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* Mark Proctor <mproctor(a)codehaus.org&gt; *To:* Rules Users List <rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; *Sent:* Tuesday, December 16, 2008 11:05:30 AM *Subject:* Re: [rules-users] How to use KnowledgeAgent in the "old manner" (just like RuleAgent) Mark Proctor wrote: > Paul Sentosa wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Mark, thanks for the links and explanation. >> So if I use Guvnor for administrating my rules, >> - should I use the URL pointing to LATEST.DRL in change-set instead >> of the one in package snapshot to get the latest version of rules? >> >> - I assume the communication between my application and the Guvnor >> will happen by the time applyChangeSet-method (which defines a >> resource by pointing to the URL of DRL) is called and internally >> create package out of it (compared to the method >> newRuleAgent("properties").

Sorry I had a mind blank, and I'm talking complete bollocks. http does work. The ResourceChangeScannerImpl is independant of the resource type, as long as the resource type implements getLastModified() and getLastRead() it will work, which the http one does. So in theory whether file or http resources, it should work the same way as the old rule agent. The only difference is the configuration is now in a different location, if you need to change the interval. You now no longer change the interval on the individual rule agent, but on the service. Properties props = new Properties(); props.setProperty("drools.resource.scanner.interval", "30"); ResourceChangeScanner service = ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService(); ResourceChangeScannerConfiguration rconf = service.newResourceChangeScannerConfiguration(props); service.configure( rconf ); Mark > > Mark >> >> Again, thanks and appreciate your answer >> >> Regards >> Paul >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> *From:* Mark Proctor <mproctor(a)codehaus.org&gt; >> *To:* Rules Users List <rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; >> *Sent:* Tuesday, December 16, 2008 9:22:22 AM >> *Subject:* Re: [rules-users] How to use KnowledgeAgent in the "old >> manner" (just like RuleAgent) >> >> psentosa wrote: >> > Hi all, >> > >> > Can anyone give some explanation / examples on this?
