OK, in which case I don't believe there is an alternative to what you are
attempting.
Technology aside the requirement is the same:-
- Download remote resource (JARs in your case)
- Add resource to local environment (JARs to required classpath in your
case)
My advice would have been:-
- Use the REST API to retrieve a list of assets.
- Iterate list identifying which assets are model JARs
- Iterate JAR list and use REST API to download binary
How you add the binary to your classpath is up to you.
This is obviously what you are doing.

Hi, the context is that somebody else creates the fact models and
puts
them there along with the rules.
I have to create a knowledge agent without knowing the rules and jars, but
only knowing the links to those PKG.
The classloader will be used later for constructing facts in an automated
fashion (something like genarating java code) and which need to be tested
by the knowledge agent.
How should I fulfill this remote class loading of the jar files?

Why not just ensure the model JARs uploaded to Guvnor are also on the KA's
classpath?
This of course assumes you have the JARs in the first place, and they are
not added remotely to Guvnor by another user, in a different location.
If this is however the case then you'd have the same problem whether using
KA or not; i.e. needing JARs you don't have.

Hi, exactly, this is the issue:
I have a remote Guvnor server, not a local one and I had tried to set up a
changeset.xml with PKG type links to the remote contained packages, in
order to load in a local running agent those packages.
But it was not enough.
When loading the packages, it does not know to load also the jar files, so
because of this, somehow the jars should be added in the classpath. At this
moment i ended by filling the classpath of my local running eclipse with
all the local jars in order to create a running knowledge agent.
I can use REST protocol to get all packages, and from there to obtain the
URL of the contained jars from each package and to programmatically
download locally the jars in a folder and after that, for each of them to
do something like this
URL jarURL = this.getClass().getResource(SomeExternalJar.jar);
URLClassLoader ucl = new URLClassLoader(new URL[]{jarURL}, this
.getClass().getClassLoader());
But my question is if I cannot somehow avoid this and make it easier.
So, the main question is: when having a remote guvnor having set packages
with rules and fact models, how can I create a local knowledge agent and to
fill it with some required fact models and rules from that remote guvnor
server?
At the first glace, I had expected when filling the knowledge agent with a
remote package, along with the test cases and rules, also the jar files to
be loaded, but it seems not.
At this moment I cannot see any other option, than this one. I had read
the entyre documentation, but i did not find something like this explained.
Could you help me? Do you have an idea about how to do this more easier
than presented above?

What is it you are trying to achieve?
If the change set contains DRL items the Classes used therein will need to
be on your client-side classpath (as explained in Esteban's blog). If you
want to use rules authored in Guvnor and Types declared in (or uploaded to)
Guvnor you should use the PKG resource type in your change-set and build
the package in Guvnor. I don't believe you should need to use a custom
class loader *unless* you really want only the DRL in your change-set but
your model classes only in Guvnor.

Hi, Esteban, Hi srinivasasanda.
My opinion regarding the issue posted by srinivasasanda is the following:
Having the changeset filled with DRL's taken from local jBoss application
and using it in a java local running knowledge agent which has not added
into the classpath the fact models will fail, of course with that
/"java.lang.RuntimeException: KnowledgeAgent exception while trying to
deserialize KnowledgeDefinitionsPackage"./
On the other hand, when having changeset.xml set as:
/<add>
<resource source='file:D:\rulemaster.drl' type='DRL' />
</add>/
is working because it seems that the fact models used in defining those
packages are in the classpath.
REST protocol is used correctly in the changeset.xml.
The problem with remotely loading pkg\drl files using REST is that you
should somehow specify a custom classloader, like this:
/KnowledgeBaseConfiguration kbaseConfig =
KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBaseConfiguration(null,
*customClassLoader*);
KnowledgeBase kbase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase(kbaseConfig);
//kbase with custom classloader
KnowledgeAgentConfiguration aconf =
KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgentConfiguration();
aconf.setProperty("drools.agent.useKBaseClassLoaderForCompiling",
"true");
KnowledgeAgent kagent = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent("test
agent", kbase, aconf);
kagent.applyChangeSet(ResourceFactory.newFileResource(changeSetFile));/
My question is: is there any possibility to create the classloader
identical
to the remote classloader used by guvnor? if yes, could you please show us
exactly how to load remotelly from guvnor?
Here, at
http://ilesteban.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/knowledge-agent-custom-class-lo...
http://ilesteban.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/knowledge-agent-custom-class-lo...
there is described how to create a custom classloader, but it is not
specified how to create it based on the Guvnor's jar files already existing
there.
