** Hi Guilharme, There's an overloaded method called configure(InputStream in) and configure(Reader reader) too, use either of those instead: try { InputStream in = new FileInputStream(" /path/to/xml/file/SolverConf.xml"); configurer.configure(in); } finally { IOUtils.closeSilently(in); } Op 11-10-11 15:01, Guilherme Kunigami schreef: Hi, I'm trying to load a configuration file (namely SolverConf.xml) into XmlSolver with the code below: XmlSolverConfigurer configurer = new XmlSolverConfigurer(); configurer.configure(SOLVER_CONFIG); Solver solver = configurer.buildSolver(); If I bundle SolverConf.xml file with the application .jar file, then using SOLVER_CONFIG as /path/to/xml/file/SolverConf.xml works fine. But I want to use SolverConf.xml outside the .jar, so I can easiliy edit it, but I don't know what path should I pass to it.

** I was wondering now if I can achieve the same with the drools rule file. That's a bit harder, but not that hard. Look in the Drools Planner manual for "setRuleBase()" (as an alternative to using <scoreDrl>'s in your SolverConfig.xml) and look in the Drools Expert manual on how to create a RuleBase.

The method below wouldn't work because it's not me who load the file (I think it's at AbstractSolverConfig.buildRuleBase, which seems to use getResourceAsStream too). 2011/10/11 Geoffrey De Smet <ge0ffrey.spam(a)gmail.com&gt; > Hi Guilharme, > > There's an overloaded method called configure(InputStream in) and > configure(Reader reader) too, use either of those instead: > > try { > InputStream in = new FileInputStream(" > /path/to/xml/file/SolverConf.xml"); > configurer.configure(in); > } finally { > IOUtils.closeSilently(in); > } > > Op 11-10-11 15:01, Guilherme Kunigami schreef: > > Hi, > > I'm trying to load a configuration file (namely SolverConf.xml) into > XmlSolver with the code below: > > XmlSolverConfigurer configurer = new XmlSolverConfigurer(); > configurer.configure(SOLVER_CONFIG); > Solver solver = configurer.buildSolver(); > > If I bundle SolverConf.xml file with the application .jar file, then > using SOLVER_CONFIG as /path/to/xml/file/SolverConf.xml works fine. > > But I want to use SolverConf.xml outside the .jar, so I can easiliy edit > it, but I don't know what path should I pass to it. > > I know it's a Java related question, but I was wondering if anyone had a > similar problem when configuring drools planner.
