To setup drools-server :

 

1. Download droolsjbpm-integration-distribution-5.2.0.M2.zip from drools site
2. extract the zip file and locate “drools-came-server-5.2.0M2.war in the “binaries” folder.
3. Copy the war to the tomcat/webapps directory
4. Extract the war file in webapps directory
5. copy your model classes and the rules file ( .drl )  into the “classes” folder inside this web-app
6. Start tomcat

 

I wrote a PHP client to access the rules service.

 

                        $url = ”http://localhost:8090/drools-server/kservice/rest/execute”

                        $post_data = file_get_contents("drools-request-ts.xml");

                        $headers = array("Content-Type" => 'text/plain; charset=utf-8',"Accept" => "text/plain; charset=utf-8");

                        $rta = http_post_data($url, $post_data,array('headers' => $headers ));

                        echo "Response : ".$rta;

 

drools-request-ts.xml  looks something like this :

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

            <batch-execution lookup="ksession1">

         <insert out-identifier="cat0">

             <com.ts.Category>

                <categoryId>1</categoryId>

                <categoryName>Area</categoryName>

                <parent1>0</parent1>

             </com.ts.Category>

          </insert>

         <insert out-identifier="conf">

             <com.ts.Configuration/>

          </insert>

   <fire-all-rules/>

 </batch-execution>

 

gudluck !
