Another newcomer question. I have studied the javadocs, such as they are, for KnowledgeAgentFactory. It seems to suggest, though not explicitly state, that one should invoke some combination of ResourceChangeNotifier and ResourceChangeScanner to cause the KnowledgeAgent to become aware of new rule bases. Then it says that both services must be started, even though both services are presumably not aware of each other. And none of the sample code actually seems to hook the notifier up to the scanner. Then, it also looks like the KnowledgeAgent (Impl) itself wires these two things up. But it seems to do it backwards (to my way of thinking): the scanner is added to the notifier? Somewhere around here is where my eyes start to glaze over. :-D What is the proper sequence for setting up a knowledge agent so that the file system is scanned, say, every 30 seconds? The KnowledgeAgentFactory documentation looks like it *wants* to explain this, but doesn't get all the way there. Just want to make sure I'm doing everything right.
