Re: [rules-users] ClassNotFoundException for functions if cached Rulebase used

hi, I'm using Drools 4.0.7. Using BRMS, I created a package which consists of a technical drl rule and a function. As the performance best practice suggestion goes, I'm caching the Rulebase instance that is obtained from the RuleAgent. However, I'm facing a problem when I'm doing this. The rules execute just fine if I call fireAllRules() just once. However, I get a ClassNotFoundException for the functions in my package when I fire the rules for the second time using the cached Rulebase. However, this problem does not occur if I create the Rulebase every time without caching. Could this be a possible bug? Thanks, Seema Here is the stack trace (the package name is Test and the function name is TestMe) 01:23:33,359 ERROR [[InsuranceServlet]] Servlet.service() for servlet InsuranceServlet threw exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Test.TestMe at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1358) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1204) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source) at ASMAccessorImpl_91782341221162783340.getValue(Unknown Source) at org.mvel.ASTNode.getReducedValueAccelerated(ASTNode.java:174) at org.mvel.MVELRuntime.execute(MVELRuntime.java:90) at org.mvel.CompiledExpression.getValue(CompiledExpression.java:111) at org.mvel.MVEL.executeExpression(MVEL.java:235) at org.drools.base.mvel.MVELConsequence.evaluate(MVELConsequence.java:48) at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireActivation(DefaultAgenda.java:554) at org.drools.common.DefaultAgenda.fireNextItem(DefaultAgenda.java:518) at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.fireAllRules(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:475) at org.drools.common.AbstractWorkingMemory.fireAllRules(AbstractWorkingMemory.java:439) at org.acme.insurance.web.DroolsBusiness.execute(DroolsBusiness.java:122) at org.acme.insurance.web.InsuranceServlet.doGet(InsuranceServlet.java:38) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:290) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:235) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:230) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:175) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:182) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:84) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:127) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:157) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:262) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:844) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:583) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:446) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
