Thanks for the info. Is there any way that you can add a call to do garbage collection after the knowledge agent is refreshed? I am noticing that all my rules stick around for some time until garbage collection is actually run. If rule packages are huge, modified, and rebuilt quickly the scanner will pick them up and process them but if garbage collection hasn’t run after the last refresh then a bunch of stale objects are hanging around.

I tested this by running a memory profile tool. After the rule refresh occurs all my rule object counts increase by 1. If I force garbage collection from the profile tool then all the rule object counts drop down to 1.

Am I doing something wrong?

When do you expect 5.1RC1 to be available?

Thanks.

The other error could be because of a bug I recently fixed: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/BRMS-320

It should be solved in 5.1RC1 I think.

Esteban,

Here is the stack trace for the ClassNotFoundException when the compiler jar is not included.

Any idea on why the other error is appearing. The error is “java.lang.RuntimeException: KnowledgeAgent exception while trying to deserialize KnowledgeDefinitionsPackage”. This occurs when the knowledge agent is created with the compiled package from the Guvnor for the first time.

Thank you for all your work and help. Drools is a great package.

Thanks.

Could you please provide us the line number where de ClassNotFoundException occurs. I think I know what could be happening. When you use incremental change set processing (newInstance = false), the agent use a kbuilder to perform some diff between the modified and original resource. The thing is that the agent always instantiate a kbuilder even if all the resources are already compiled (which is useless).

Please provide me the line number of the exception, i will start working on this issue. Meanwhile, as a workaround, add the drools-compiler dependency.

The KAgent was practically rebuilt from scratch since 5.1M1 so these kind of error were expected ;)

Best,

As a follow-up, this did work however there are still some problems. The rules did get pulled into the application and seem to be running but clearly something is not right.

I needed to include the drools-compiler.jar in my app otherwise I was getting a ClassNotFoundException. I am pulling a compiled package from the Guvnor so not sure why I need the compiler jar in my app.

When the rules are pulled into the app I am getting the exception thrown which is being logged and the app can continue running:

2010-07-01 00:36:14,201 | INFO (MyDroolsListener.java:41) KnowledgeAgent performing an incremental build of the ChangeSet

2010-07-01 00:36:14,261 | ERROR (MyDroolsListener.java:30) java.lang.RuntimeException: KnowledgeAgent exception while trying to deserialize KnowledgeDefinitionsPackage

2010-07-01 00:36:14,271 | INFO (MyDroolsListener.java:41) KnowledgeAgent incremental build of KnowledgeBase finished and in use

Then if I rebuild the package in the Guvnor then I see the following [the two lines are repeated for each rule in the package]:

[2010:07:182 00:07:741:debug] BinaryResourceDiffProducerImpl: Comparing [Rule name=v_32, agendaGroup=MAIN, salience=0, no-loop=false] against [Rule name=v_32, agendaGroup=MAIN, salience=0, no-loop=false]

The problem seams to happen because the kagent can't access the url.

If you try to access the change set xml using a browser, does the browser ask you for authentication? I don't know why, but guvnor protect its urls since 5.1 I think.

So, basically, the error is that guvnor can't read from the url. The same error happens if you provide a non existent url. I need to open a jira for this.

As a work around, try doing this:

<change-set xmlns='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set'

xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'

xs:schemaLocation='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set drools-change-set-5.0.xsd' >

<add>

</add>

</change-set>

Remember to replace username and password.

Here is the xml file I am getting:

Could you please post the xml file you are getting from http://rulerserver/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/my.rule.package/LATEST/ChangeSet.xml?

Best,

2010/6/30 Jeffrey Schneller <jeffrey.schneller@envisa.com>

I am trying to upgrade to the 5.1M2 build from 5.0.1 and am running into some issues. I have installed the new 5.1 Guvnor and imported the rules from my 5.0.1 Guvnor instance.

I then removed the old 5.0.1 drools jars from my app and replaced them with the 5.1M2 drools jars. I was also added all the dependent libraries. The code that worked with the 5.0.1 version does not work with the 5.1M2 version. In 5.0.1 I was constructing the xml and streaming it into the applyChangeSet method. With 5.1M2 I am just pointing to the change set xml file that is in the Guvnor.

I am seeing a NullPointerException being thrown in the processChangeSet method as shown below.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

at org.drools.agent.impl.KnowledgeAgentImpl.processChangeSet(KnowledgeAgentImpl.java:171)

at org.drools.agent.impl.KnowledgeAgentImpl.applyChangeSet(KnowledgeAgentImpl.java:143)

at org.drools.agent.impl.KnowledgeAgentImpl.applyChangeSet(KnowledgeAgentImpl.java:130)

Did I miss something? Am I doing something wrong? Below is the code that I have.

KnowledgeAgentConfiguration kaconf = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgentConfiguration();

kaconf.setProperty( "drools.agent.scanDirectories", "true" );

kaconf.setProperty("drools.agent.newInstance", "false");

ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService().start();

ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeNotifierService().start();

String url = "http://rulerserver/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/my.rule.package/LATEST/ChangeSet.xml";

KnowledgeAgent kagent = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent( "Configuration", kaconf );

kagent.setSystemEventListener(new MyDroolsListener());

try {

kagent.applyChangeSet(ResourceFactory.newUrlResource(new URL(url))); // ERROR IS OCCURING INSIDE OF applyChangeSet

} catch (MalformedURLException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}
