Thanks Mark! I'll try that (*kmodule-spring.xml*) today ....
In the mean time I answered one of my own questions:
Moreover - *do I have to do it this way?* The project executes the
Spring
MVC
Web App just fine and the Drools KIE test case runs perfectly in the same
Maven project. *Can't I just integrate them programmatically instead?*
The answer is *yes*, I can do it programmatically instead. I tested running
the simple DroolsTest code in one of the Spring MVC Controllers (just for
kicks and giggles) and after fixing the thorny problem articulated below ...
IT Worked!
I was able to *enter form data in a Spring MVC Web app and have it execute
Drools KIE on the back end*....
There was an error which warrants articulating for posterity sake - here it
is below:
I was Trying to get Drools to execute from Spring MVC WEB in Pure Maven
Project (no added natures of any kind) and ran head first into this problem:
*ERROR KieContainerImpl - Unknown KieSession name: ksession-rules*
Initial RND: (some direction - but no solutions)
Unknown KieSession name in drools 6.0 (while trying to add drools to
existing maven/eclipse project)
http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Null-pointer-exception-when-adding-droo...
Related Problem (... but a big clue):
*WARN ClasspathKieProject - Unable to load pom.properties tried recursing
down from/Apache-Tomcat7/webapps/maven-spring-drools/WEB-INF/classes*
SOLUTION:
As it turns out, creating the directory *WEB-INF/classes* and placing the
files* pom.properties* and *pom.xml* in it *solves the problem*. The clue
came from this link:
http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Drools-6-Unable-to-build-index-of-kmodu...
- where Mark Proctor indicated that the project has to be a maven project,
and it *needs to find pom.properties*.
As soon as the KIE finds the *pom.properties* file, it figures out the
KieSession name and the problem is solved.
Note: I'd suspect you'd have to manually keep that POM.XML file updated but
the pom.properties file never changes.
This has been my experience - hope it helps someone....
