Hopefully this is helpful to someone else...

The reason 5.2.0-M1 wasn't starting under Tomcat was also due to a schema problem.

In knowledge-services.xml, I had to change the path to drools-spring-1.2.0.xsd from:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:drools="http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd
                           http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring org/drools/container/spring/drools-spring-1.2.0.xsd">

to

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:drools="http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd
                           http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring https://github.com/droolsjbpm/droolsjbpm-integration/raw/master/drools-container
/drools-spring/src/main/resources/org/drools/container/spring/drools-spring-1.2.0.xsd">


Alternatively, you can also copy the drools-sprin-1.2.0.xsd file to <tomcat>/webapps/drools-server/org/drools/container/spring/drools-spring-1.2.0.xsd, and it will just be loaded from the local file system.

Well I was able to get drools server 5.1.1 running under Tomcat 6.0.30, no luck with 5.2.0-M1 or JBoss AS though.

The problem with 5.1.1 not starting seems to be with it not being able to download an xsd since I'm in a corp environment and http requests have to be proxyed. So I moved the drools server to a server that could bypass our proxy server, and then it started up.

It looks like there's an issue open related to the problem I had here:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2905

I'm just using a stock build from http://www.jboss.org/drools/downloads.html, and it has <drools:execution-node> defined in 5.1.1. When I remove it, I just get a error on the next xml tag.

I tried again with the JBoss AS included with Drools Guvnor Standalone 5.2.0.M1, copying drools-5.2.0.M1-server.war to jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/drools-server.war, but get the following error:

I'm not sure about this, but I think there is no need to define <drools:execution-node> any more. Please try to remove the definition and all its usages from knowledge-services.xml and see what happens. If somebody else could confirm this behaviour, please let us know.

By the way, did you try to deploy drools-server in a JBoss AS?
