Re: [rules-users] Drools server and knowledge agent functionality

Hi. You can configure a Knowledge Agent in Drools-Server using spring. You have to declare it in knowledge-services.xml config file. You need to do something like: <drools:kagent id="kagent1" kbase="kbase1" new-instance="false"> <drools:resources> <drools:resource type="DRL" source="file:/some/path/to/apache-tomcat-7.0.6/webapps/drools-server/WEB-INF/classes/test.drl"/> <drools:resource type="PKG" source=" http://somehost:8080/droolg-guvnor/.../LATEST"/> </drools:resources> </drools:kagent> For configure the scan interval, you can use: <drools:resource-change-scanner id="s1" interval="5" /> There are, though, some caveats: - If you are deploying drools-server in tomcat, then you can't use classpath resources in the kagent. I have reported this problem today. - drools-server doesn't start ResourceChangeNotifierService nor ResourceChangeScannerService automatically. You need to hack some way to invoke ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeNotifierService().start(); and ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService().start();. I was thinking in a Servlet that calls these methods in its init() method.
