I’m trying to use KieScanner in 6.0.1.Final build and just can’t make it work. Maybe it’s actually an issue with my using of Maven.

 

Here’s my code:

 

       ReleaseId releaseId = ks.newReleaseId( "com.study", "project_jar", "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT" );

       KieContainer kContainer = ks.newKieContainer( releaseId );

       KieSession kSession = kContainer.newKieSession("ksession-rules_jar");

       KieScanner kScanner = ks.newKieScanner( kContainer );

 

Where “com.study” is my fictional domain and “project_jar” is the jar of my project. It has dependency on “drools_jar” which is a kjar of version “0.0.1-SNAPSHOT” (same version for both jars, by the way).

 

Later, I’m trying to test drools_jar updating by doing two things:

 

1.       Rebuilding and deploying drools_jar to the local repository;

2.       Calling kScanner.scanNow()

 

And KieScanner is not picking up the changes.

If I’m deploying drools_jar with the same “0.0.1-SNAPSHOT” version, nothing happens, until the next time I restart my project.

If I’m deploying drools_jar with the new “0.0.2-SNAPSHOT” version, then it’s not a correct dependency and KieScanner is not picking it up (as I expected).

If I’m rebuilding project_jar with a new dependency on “0.0.2-SNAPSHOT” of drools_jar, KieScanner is not picking it up either, but restart helps (as I expected).

 

What is the proper practice of using KieScanner?

 

Thanks,

Alex
