BACKGROUND:

I’m embedding drools in an application.

To test the error handling, I’m trying to import a type that doesn’t exist:

import does.not.exist;

When I print out the error messages from KnowledgeBuilder.getErrorMessages() they all look similar to this:

Error importing : 'does.not.exist'

Rule Compilation error : [Rule name='Telnet']

                             defaultpkg/Rule_Telnet_cdef8401dd054fb59abb4e33b76d12f7.java (2:74) : Only a type can be imported. does.not.exist resolves to a package

I have looked at section 4 – “Error messages”  in the drools expert documentation - http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/5.4.0.Final/drools-expert-docs/html_single/index.html#d0e4249 to find a description of error messages.

MY QUESTION:

There is an error message format described in the drools expert documentation:

“ 1st Block: This area identifies the error code.

2nd Block: Line and column information.

3rd Block: Some text describing the problem.

4th Block: This is the first context. Usually indicates the rule, function, template or query where the error occurred. This block is not mandatory.

5th Block: Identifies the pattern where the error occurred. This block is not mandatory.”

Why is my error message not formatted like the documentation describes?
