I have tried the following:
KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration builderConfiguration =
KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilderConfiguration(null,
getClass().getClassLoader());
KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder =
KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder(builderConfiguration);
Resource pathResource = ResourceFactory.newClassPathResource(path,
getClass());
kbuilder.add(pathResource, ResourceType.DTABLE, dtableconfiguration);
However it still fails ...
Does this compare to what you are doing? Are you able to do DecisionTables
as well?
Roughly; I use neither knowledge API nor tables. However I guess
you're
not importing org.drools.base.extractors, so your classloader won't let
drools load that class. There was a heap of drools stuff I've never
heard of but had to import before it worked.
