Hi everybody.

I am having a problem to instantiate a console application with Drools and Sping. With Spring, I am able to instanciate a bean and print its value to console, but with Spring + Drools I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'kbase': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to parser Reader

I use eclipse, and running from the IDE Spring + Drools in a console application works fine. This problem happens when I generate an executable jar and try the "java -jar" command.

My main method is below

public static void main(String[] args) {
        ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("appConfig.xml");
        StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = (StatefulKnowledgeSession) context.getBean("ksession");
        System.out.println(ksession);
}

And my applicationContext.xml is below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:drools="http://drools.org/schema/drools-spring"
       xmlns:camel="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd

                           http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd">

    <drools:kbase id="kbase">
        <drools:resources>
            <drools:resource source="classpath:knowledgebase-config.xml" type="CHANGE_SET" />
        </drools:resources>
    </drools:kbase>

    <drools:ksession id="ksession" type="stateful" kbase="kbase" />
</beans>

Any clue of what is cousing the problem? Thank you very much.

Regards,
Anderson
