...and I forgot to add that the rules file is NOT on the classpath, it is created by another application at runtime, on the fly. getResourceAsStream requires classpath, I suppose, but I need to make a package dynamically. We know the classpath cannot be changed when the system is running. aj -------------------------------------------- Alan R Jones Boeing S&IS Mission Systems Denver Engineering Center (BDEC) 303.307.3415 -----Original Message----- From: Jones, Alan R Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 5:00 PM To: 'Rules Users List' Subject: [rules-users] Can't get InputStream for Reader Hi, I am trying to read a .drl file from a location on the disk via: Reader source = new InputStreamReader(this.class.getResourceAsStream(ruleFile)); But my InputStream is coming back null. I have another class engineMgr that actually starts a new thread and then kicks off all the rule base initialization, etc, then when I get to the point of reading in the drl file is when it chokes. Any ideas? Maybe I can read the file another way? aj -------------------------------------------- Alan R Jones

I think this is OK and I presume it is just a warning - I've been doing some other work with ANTLR and I had the debugger catching this exception. I got it down to eval(3 == 3) causing the exception but the rule still worked. Interestingly eval(3 >= 2) did not cause a problem. Do you want me to raise a JIRA for this?
