I am facing this error of knowledgeagent trying to deserialize knowledgedefinitionspackage. Actually I am not too sure what caused this problem..
I have successfully deployed my rules in guvnor, and running a sample test case on one of the ruleflow works fine. However, when I tried to integrate into an existing project, using the same code of initializing knowledgeagent from the sample test, the error occurred. I am using drools 5.1.0.m1. Below is the error messages..

And this are the codes I used to init drools..

  ResourceChangeScannerConfiguration sconf = ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService().newResourceChangeScannerConfiguration();
  sconf.setProperty( "drools.resource.scanner.interval", "15" );
  ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService().configure( sconf );
  
  KnowledgeAgentConfiguration kaconf = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgentConfiguration();
  kaconf.setProperty( "drools.agent.scanDirectories", "true" );
  kaconf.setProperty( "drools.agent.scanResources", "true" );
  kaconf.setProperty( "drools.agent.newAgent", "true" );
  KnowledgeAgent kagent = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent( "test agent",  kaconf );
  
  kagent.applyChangeSet(ResourceFactory.newUrlResource(new URL("http://localhost:8080/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/myPackage/LATEST/ChangeSet.xml")));
  
  ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeNotifierService().start();
  ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService().start();
  
  KnowledgeBase kbase = kagent.getKnowledgeBase();
  
  ksession = kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession();
  logger = KnowledgeRuntimeLoggerFactory.newFileLogger(ksession, "test");

 

Anyone helps??
