Hi Michael, Thanks but we would like to reuse the ServiceImplementation but I can't pass the RulesRepository to another class. I was hoping to use the In annotation on a constructor so I can pass in the RulesRepository that way but Seam doesn't allow that. //@In //public RulesRepository repository = null; private RulesRepository repository = null; //@In public ServiceImplementation( RulesRepository repository ) { this.repository = repository; this.serviceImplementation = new BRMSServiceImplementation( this.repository ); } No quick fix :-( I guess I'll have to read up on Seam. Thanks for your help, Len ________________________________ From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Michael Neale Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2008 8:50 PM To: Rules Users List Cc: Rules Users List Subject: Re: [rules-users] BRMS Hi len. Yes I think if you create you own in annotation and if you recompile that may work. If not recompiling, I am not sure. But if you hack source, we could refactor so the seam stuff is not in the main class. Another approach is to have the brms as a self contained war, and have the service called remotely via the repository service interface (in effect what the web bit does anyway)- that could work better if you don't need to get at the innards. Do you need it embedded in you app ? If so, will need to think some more if you dont want to use seam (basically means refacting in to a separate module the back end bits) Sent from my iPhone On 08/02/2008, at 16:09, "Carlsen, Len" <len.carlsen(a)ubc.ca&gt; wrote: Hi, I am looking at the Drools BRMS to see how I can reuse the org.drools.brms.server.ServiceImplementation for other UI toolkits and also be able to create my own meta-data. So, I created a plain BRMSServiceImplementation and removed Seam and GWT from several other classes and re-wrote the org.drools.brms.server.ServiceImplementation to use BRMSServiceImplementation so the BRMS still works but I am having problems with Seam org.jboss.seam.annotations.In annotation since my BRMSServiceImplementation class uses the ServiceImplementation's RulesRepository. I don't know much about Seam and am wondering if anyone knows if the @In annotation can be replaced (with another annotation???) and set to the constructor instead of a class member variable? @Name("org.drools.brms.client.rpc.RepositoryService") @AutoCreate public class ServiceImplementation implements RepositoryService { @In public RulesRepository repository; Replace with public ServiceImplementation( RulesRepository repository ) If I can get this to work, I'd be happy to submit it to Drools.
