Hi

While integrating the drools with my application, i have used the RuleAgent configuration properties as

##
## Rule Agent configuration file
##

newInstance = false
poll = 30
name = MyRuleAgent
dir = C : /package_binaries

I have put the binary file in the specified directory ( C : /package_binaries ). So it will scan the directory every 30 sec and update the ruleBase accordingly.
My problem is, if i remove the binary package from the specified directory, it is scanning the directory and clearing the ruleBase (deleting).

If we use the URL, even though the site is not up, or if there is no good version of package it won't effect the rulebase which is in the application. But in case of dir it is effecting the rulebase irrespective of binary package (whether it is good version/ bad or it is deleted).

How can we avoid clearing the rulebase?

Thanks
