Hi, I am trying to work with Activiti and drools. I am new to both. I have a simple drl written using the eclipse drools editor. ----------- package com.x.workflow import com.x.api.dto.User; rule "validate_user" when userX : User(getName().equals("test123")) then userX.setDescription("changed in workflow)"; System.out.println("user is test123"); end -------- The editor does not flag any errors, but, when I run the workflow through my webapp, I see the following error : Rule Compilation error : [Rule name='validate_user'] com/x/workflow/Rule_validate_user.java (7:439) : Syntax error, insert ")" to complete Expression 904224 [tomcat-http--51] ERROR org.activiti.engine.impl.interceptor.CommandContext - Error while closing command context java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not parse knowledge. at org.drools.builder.impl.KnowledgeBuilderImpl.newKnowledgeBase(KnowledgeBuilderImpl.java:67) at org.activiti.engine.impl.rules.RulesDeployer.deploy(RulesDeployer.java:61) the java file Rule_validate_user.java is not written by me, in fact I cannot locate it in my source. It appears it is generated by drools engine. And, I cannot find what is wrong with my drl file from the error printed. Appreciate any pointers. thanks sapra -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/discrepency-between-drools-eclipse-edit...
