Hi,

I’m experiencing an interesting issue with Drools/Guvnor.  I am running Drools 5.1.1 on my workstation and the Guvnor 5.1.1 standalone locally.  When I run it locally, it works fine.  The server installation of JBoss AS was downloaded and installed at the same time as Drools 5.1.1.

When I try to run it connecting to the remote server (on Linux), I get the following error:

The only thing I can think of that is different is that I recently upgraded my Guvnor 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 on the Server.  I did this by replacing the drools-guvnor.war with the newer version.  Did that create some sort of compatibility between my local 5.1.1 installation and the server installation of 5.1.1 on top of the old 5.0.1?

Thanks,

John
