All,

First, I apologize long email. I have a few questions on how to use RESTful web Service on Execution Server. I have read through the document and followed the instruction. I think I missed a few critical steps. Here are what I did.

1)      Created package, category, rule, a java class (Referral as fact).

Class Referral {

                String homeState;

                String servviceType;

                String stateLicenseNumber;

…

}

2)      Used Test Scenarios tool to test rule. Everything worked perfectly.

3)      Installed Execution Server in JBoss.

4)      Added a mytest.properties file under \drools-5.0-guvnor-standalone\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\drools-server.war\WEB-INF\classes\

<change-set xmlns='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set'";

        xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'

        xs:schemaLocation='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set drools-change-set-5.0.xsd' >

        <add>

          <resource source=http://localhost:8080/DroolsDemo_sfasdfasd.pkg type='PKG' />

        </add>

</change-set>

5)  Add jar file for above java class in lib directory.

6)      Created java class to call mytest RESTful service.

PostMethod method = new PostMethod("http://localhost:8080/drools-server/knowledgebase/mytest");

            method.setRequestHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");

            method.setRequestHeader("Accept","text/xml");

            method.setRequestHeader("Content-Encoding","UTF-8");

            try{

                  File f = new File("Request.xml");

            method.setRequestBody(new FileInputStream(f));

            }catch(Exception e){

            }

Request.xml content is:

<knowledgebase-request>

  <globals>

  </globals>

  <inOutFacts>

    <named-fact>

      <id>testFact</id>

      <fact class="Drools.ReferralDetail">

        <homeState>FL</homeState>

        <serviceType>HH</serviceType>

        <stateLicenseNumber></stateLicenseNumber>

      </fact>

    </named-fact>

  </inOutFacts>

</knowledgebase-request>

I got RuleBase mytest not known or is not valid.

Here are my questions:

1)      Did I miss any other steps? Anything I did wrong?

2)       If I run execution server on different server, where I should put pkg file and how to make necessary changes to mytest.properties?

Appreciate your help and Happy Holidays.
