Hi there, Error message: (null: 5, 77): schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document ' drools.org/drools-5.0.xsd';, because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>. I ran into this issue when experimenting a project that transforming the rules back and forth from DRL to XML with utility classes as documented in following link: http://downloads.jboss.com/drools/docs/5.0.1.26597.FINAL/drools-expert/ht... My code: … XmlPackageReader xmlReader = new XmlPackageReader(null); StringReader sr = new StringReader(rulesInXml); try { PackageDescr packageDescr = xmlReader.read(sr); DrlDumper drlDumper = new DrlDumper(); String drlString = drlDumper.dump(packageDescr); } catch (Exception ex) { System.out.println(ex); } … where string “rulesInXml” is the result xml string transformed from a valid .drl file. It looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <package name="com.sample" xmlns="http://drools.org/drools-5.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xs:schemaLocation="http://drools.org/drools-5.0 drools.org/drools-5.0.xsd"> <import name="com.sample.DroolsTest.Message" /> <rule name="Hello World"> <lhs><pattern identifier="m" object-type="Message" > <field-constraint field-name="status"> <qualified-identifier-restriction evaluator="==">Message.HELLO </qualified-identifier-restriction> </field-constraint> <field-binding field-name="message" identifier="myMessage" /> </pattern> </lhs> <rhs> System.out.println( myMessage ); m.setMessage( "Goodbye cruel world" ); m.setStatus( Message.GOODBYE ); update( m ); </rhs> </rule> <rule name="GoodBye"> <lhs><pattern object-type="Message" > <field-constraint field-name="status"> <qualified-identifier-restriction evaluator="==">Message.GOODBYE </qualified-identifier-restriction> </field-constraint> <field-binding field-name="message" identifier="myMessage" /> </pattern> </lhs> <rhs> System.out.println( myMessage ); </rhs> </rule> </package> What did I miss here? Moreover, the Drools 5.0 API’s for XML support are poorly-documented. For example, the constructors of class “XmlPackageReader” has an arg of “SemanticModules” type which is not documented. L Any help would be highly appreciated!
