Hi Charles,

Yes I am using a KieScanner to look for updates. Since I am using Spring I had to wrap it so that it could be properly initialized and started as a bean. I didn't include that bit in my original post as it didn't seem relevant to the problem at hand.

The other reason why I decided to use the bean notation instead of the kie namespace is so that I could reference the created session as a bean that could be injected as a property to another bean (the thread class that sets up the session for my application and actually calls fireAllRules). Perhaps I was not doing it right but Spring wasn't recognizing anything in the <kie> tags as a bean I could reference.

In any case, my approach should be identical to setting up the session in Java directly as follows.

KieServices kieServices = KieServices.Factory.get();
ReleaseId releaseId = kieServices.newReleaseId("mygroup", "myartifact", "version");
KieContainer kContainer = kieServices.newKieContainer(releaseId);
Environment env = kieServices.newEnvironment();
env.set(ENTITY_MANAGER_FACTORY, entityManagerFactory);
env.set(TRANSACTION_MANAGER, transactionManager);
KieSession kSession = kContainer.newKieSession(env);

This as far as I've read is exactly how the documentation recommends it be done. It just doesn't actually work for some reason or another.

Hi Jean-Philippe,

To pickup new updates, then you should use KieScanner (part of kie-ci project) which allows you to do incremental build if a new kjar has been published/released. Here is an example : https://github.com/droolsjbpm/drools/blob/master/kie-ci/src/test/java/org/kie/scanner/KieScannerIncrementalCompilationTest.java

Hi Charles,

Thanks for your reference. I had tried using kie-spring but was unable to use it as it currently does not support creating sessions from a release id and container. I did this in order to be able to pick up on updates to the kjar from maven while the application is running the same way it used to work in Drools 5. Has anyone else with similar needs to mine gotten persistence working?

Hi Jean Philippe,

I have recently created a project to persist bpmn process using Spring & JPA / Hibernate. This config is working using kie-spring

Hello All,

I am trying to set up persistence for a standalone Drools (6.0.1.Final) application that uses JPA, Hibernate (4.3.5.Final) and Bitronix (2.1.4) via Spring (4.0.3.RELEASE).

On the persistence side everything appears to be set up correctly. For my Drools session I use a KieContainer to create a new stateful session using an environment set up with the EntityManagerFactory and TransactionManager set. The problem that I am experiencing however is that nothing is getting persisted to the database. I have poured over the docs at least two dozen times and searched the net for anything related.

Here is what my Spring context file looks like when creating the Drools session...

    <bean id="kReleaseId" factory-bean="kieServices" factory-method="newReleaseId">
        <constructor-arg index="0" value="groupId"/>
        <constructor-arg index="1" value="artifactId"/>
        <constructor-arg index="2" value="1.0-SNAPSHOT"/>
    </bean>
    <bean id="kContainer" factory-bean="kieServices" factory-method="newKieContainer">
        <constructor-arg index="0" ref="kReleaseId"/>
    </bean>
    <bean id="kEnvironment" factory-bean="kieServices" factory-method="newEnvironment">
        <constructor-arg index="0">
            <map>
                <entry>
                    <key><util:constant static-field="org.kie.api.runtime.EnvironmentName.ENTITY_MANAGER_FACTORY"/></key>
                    <ref bean="entityManagerFactory"/>
                </entry>
                <entry>
                    <key><util:constant static-field="org.kie.api.runtime.EnvironmentName.TRANSACTION_MANAGER"/></key>
                    <ref bean="jtaTransactionManager"/>
                </entry>
            </map>
        </constructor-arg>
    </bean>
    <bean id="kSession" factory-bean="kContainer" factory-method="newKieSession">
        <constructor-arg index="0" ref="kEnvironment"/>
    </bean>

Since the application is standalone I execute fireAllRules on the session at a regular interval (I use this instead of fireUntilHalt as it dramatically reduces the CPU load on the machine). With each call I wrap it in a transaction. Thus, the code looks as follows:

    while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
        // Start a new transaction
        UserTransaction utx = utx = (UserTransaction)new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
       utx.begin();

        // Tick the session
        kSession.fireAllRules();

        // Close the transaction
        utx.commit();

            // Sleep so that other applications can use the CPU
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // When our sleep is interrupted it's because the executor wants us to shut down.
                Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
            }
        }

When I inspect kSession in the debugger I can see the environment is properly set. I have tried digging down into the execute a bit but can't find any point at which the TransactionManager or EntityManagerFactory are used. As I said above I know Hibernate is set up correctly as well as Bitronix. I can see them working just fine in the logs and they definitely are hitting the database (and create tables for sessioninfo and workingmemory as they should). I just get nothing actually in the database stored, ever.

Any help here is appreciated. It seems like it should work but it just doesn't.

Thanks in advance,

Jean-Philippe Steinmetz
