The problem seams to happen because the kagent can't access the url. If you try to access the change set xml using a browser, does the browser ask you for authentication? I don't know why, but guvnor protect its urls since 5.1 I think. So, basically, the error is that guvnor can't read from the url. The same error happens if you provide a non existent url. I need to open a jira for this. As a work around, try doing this: <change-set xmlns='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set' xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xs:schemaLocation='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set drools-change-set-5.0.xsd<http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-setdrool... <add <resource basicAuthentication='enabled' username='admin' password='admin' source=' http://ruleserver/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/my.rule.... type='PKG' / </add </change-set Remember to replace username and password.

Thanks for the info. Is there any way that you can add a call to do garbage collection after the knowledge agent is refreshed? I am noticing that all my rules stick around for some time until garbage collection is actually run. If rule packages are huge, modified, and rebuilt quickly the scanner will pick them up and process them but if garbage collection hasn't run after the last refresh then a bunch of stale objects are hanging around. I tested this by running a memory profile tool. After the rule refresh occurs all my rule object counts increase by 1. If I force garbage collection from the profile tool then all the rule object counts drop down to 1. Am I doing something wrong? When do you expect 5.1RC1 to be available? Thanks.

If you try to access the change set xml using a browser, does the browser ask you for authentication? I don't know why, but guvnor protect its urls since 5.1 I think. So, basically, the error is that guvnor can't read from the url. The same error happens if you provide a non existent url. I need to open a jira for this. As a work around, try doing this: <change-set xmlns='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set <http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set> ' xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance> ' xs:schemaLocation='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set drools-change-set-5.0.xsd <http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-setdrools-change-set-5.0.xsd> ' > <add> <resource basicAuthentication='enabled' username='admin' password='admin' source='http://ruleserver/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package /my.rule.package/LATEST <http://ruleserver/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/my.rul e.package/LATEST> ' type='PKG' /> </add> </change-set> Remember to replace username and password.

Best, 2010/6/30 Jeffrey Schneller <jeffrey.schneller(a)envisa.com&gt; I am trying to upgrade to the 5.1M2 build from 5.0.1 and am running into some issues. I have installed the new 5.1 Guvnor and imported the rules from my 5.0.1 Guvnor instance. I then removed the old 5.0.1 drools jars from my app and replaced them with the 5.1M2 drools jars. I was also added all the dependent libraries. The code that worked with the 5.0.1 version does not work with the 5.1M2 version. In 5.0.1 I was constructing the xml and streaming it into the applyChangeSet method. With 5.1M2 I am just pointing to the change set xml file that is in the Guvnor. I am seeing a NullPointerException being thrown in the processChangeSet method as shown below. Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.drools.agent.impl.KnowledgeAgentImpl.processChangeSet(KnowledgeAgent Impl.java:171) at org.drools.agent.impl.KnowledgeAgentImpl.applyChangeSet(KnowledgeAgentIm pl.java:143) at org.drools.agent.impl.KnowledgeAgentImpl.applyChangeSet(KnowledgeAgentIm pl.java:130) Did I miss something? Am I doing something wrong? Below is the code that I have. KnowledgeAgentConfiguration kaconf = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgentConfiguration(); kaconf.setProperty( "drools.agent.scanDirectories", "true" ); kaconf.setProperty("drools.agent.newInstance", "false"); ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService().start(); ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeNotifierService().start(); String url = "http://rulerserver/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/my.ru le.package/LATEST/ChangeSet.xml"; KnowledgeAgent kagent = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent( "Configuration", kaconf ); kagent.setSystemEventListener(new MyDroolsListener()); try { kagent.applyChangeSet(ResourceFactory.newUrlResource(new URL(url))); // ERROR IS OCCURING INSIDE OF applyChangeSet } catch (MalformedURLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users -- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Esteban Aliverti _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users -- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Esteban Aliverti _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users -- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Esteban Aliverti _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users -- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Esteban Aliverti
