The XML format produced by XmlDumper is an XML representation of various internal Descriptors used by Drools Expert and only supports features up to 4.0

It is unfortunately not the same as that stored internally in Guvnor (which is simply a XStream representation of Guvnor's internal model).

Furthermore Guvnor's internal representation is private and subject to change from release to release.

There is no easy way to convert from one to the other, other than writing your own XSLT.

With kind regards,

Mike

Hi,

 

We have a set of rule files in DRL format.  We couldn’t find a way (tool) of importing them into Guvnor as BRL file so that we can edit using the designer.

 

We ended up using the DrlParser and XmlDumper to transform them from DRL to BRL.  It produces the XML and when we add it to the repository using WebDav, Guvnor lists the files under Business Rule which is perfect.  BUT when I try to open it, it throws the following error:

I am able to re-produce the same error when I try to convert the BRL to DRL using BRDRLPersistence and BRXMLPersistence marshalling and unmarshalling.  I checked that the field ‘rule-attribute’ is indeed not present in org.drools.brms.client.modeldriven.brl.RuleModel.  when I look at the example brl file from the sample mortgage, they don’t have ‘rule-attribute’, and it’s not only that specific node, the whole set of node names are different.

Am I doing something wrong?  Is there a better way of converting the DRLs to BRLs?

 

Thanks in advance!
