I am running JBoss 5.1.0 GA with drools 5.1.1 (added run-time libraries).

I have several DRL files which resides outside my EAR in a 'rules' directory.

When the EAR loads, I am loading the DRLs using:

     kbuilder.add(ResourceFactory.newFileResource(file), ResourceType.DRL); 

}

That works fine.

When I do redeploy of the EAR, this code passed successfully, but the rules won't run anymore.

When I switch to drools 5.0.1 run-time libraries, it returns to work. 

I need to work with 5.1.1 since I use some of the new features.

I found an old post that was answered by Mark Proctor suggesting to use a single drools-all.jar: http://markmail.org/message/6yzc7c6ejdn6iekc#query:drools%20classloader%20problem+page:1+mid:6yzc7c6ejdn6iekc+state:results

unfortunately, I could find such file in the 5.1.1 release.

 Other ideas that was tested and failed: 1. Tell Tomcat not to lock resources (configuration properties in context.xml) 2. Put all drools 5.1.1 jars and dependencies in the lib

Any suggestion how to solve this issue?

Thanks,

Amit
