[rules-users] Can't execute rules twice with a second classloader
I am trying to sequentially perform two rules executions using two
different classloaders in the same VM. I create completely new state
for each execution, yet I still fail on the second execution. I
believe this has to do with some internal static cached state that
JBossRules is maintaining. A snippet of the code and exeception are
shown in this email.
public void demo() throws Exception {
// Save original classloader
ClassLoader original = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
// Create Classloader 1 with parent of original
FooClassLoader loader1 = new FooClassLoader(original);
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(loader1);
testRules();
// Success so far...
// Create Classloader 2 with parent of original
FooClassLoader loader2 = new FooClassLoader(original);
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(loader2);
testRules();
// Never make it to here.
// Restore
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(original);
}
private void testRules() throws Exception {
PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder();
Package pkg = buildPackage(new String[] { "Foo.drl" }, builder);
RuleBase base = RuleBaseFactory.newRuleBase();
base.addPackage(pkg);
StatelessSession session = base.newStatelessSession();
final ClassLoader loader =
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
Object inst = loader.loadClass("com.foo.Foo").newInstance();
session.execute(new Object[] { inst });
}
