Re: [rules-users] Challenge! Using javassist and drools presents an issue with drl

Isn't the simplest solution just to add the imports at the start of the imported drl file? That is the users don't need to worry about writing the imports but before you feed the files into your code simply prepends the required imports. You can do this easily in memory with something like the following: StringWriter drlContents = new StringWriter(); drlContents.write("import ...\n"); FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream(drlFile); InputStreamReader inR = new InputStreamReader(stream, "UTF-8"); IOUtils.copy(inR, drlContents); kbuilder.add(ResourceFactory.newReaderResource(new StringReader(drlContents.toString())), ResourceType.DRL);
