Populate it from what? The obvious answer would be to use GuidedDecisionTable52 (and related classes) API direct, but that's not what I suppose you are looking for? There was some debate (on IRC) recently whether /source should return DRL or something else. @Geoffrey (de Smet), did you change anything recently that would affect what was returned? I suspect Jervis's example *used to* work.

I'd like to here from a few people.... You - are you using 5.3.0.Final or something newer (if only 5.3.0.Final then Geoffrey's possible changes below should not matter). Geoffrey de Smet - who has been making changes in the way assets are returned from the REST API recently. Nicolas Heron - who has been doing exactly what you are asking for some time. Jervis Liu is the original REST API developer, who might also have a clearer insight. What you require should be possible, but I defer to those above who have more knowledge. 2011/12/15 Mariano Gonzalez <mariano.l.gonzalez(a)gmail.com&gt; > Hello Michael, > > Thank you for your answer.

Hi all, I'm not listed in people you would like to answer, but there is something that could be the main problem here. In your URL, you use "source", so it is normal that you get the corresponding DRL in response : String content=client.path("guvnor-webapp-${project.version}/rest/packages/essaiRest/assets/tab2/ *source*").accept("text/plain").get(String.class); If you want the XML, ie the asset XML representation in the repository, don't use "source". I am not very sure of the correct URL to use, but according to http://blog.athico.com/2011/03/atompub-interface-for-guvnor.html, it should be the same, without "/source" at end, and then you should get the XML in the response. May be you should use "Application/XML" in the accept instead of "text/plain". _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users

Thank you all for your help! I followed Vincent's link and as he says, invoking any of those rest apis returns a valid xml instead of the DRL. The problem is that the XML describes the metadata of the package or the asset itself but it doesn't provide information on the excel spreadsheet that was used to create the decision table. Therefore, the parser can't unmarshall that XML into a valid GuidedDecisionTable52 instance.

Ok, thank you all for the help. I think it might be an error in the doc. I'm currently downloading/uploading the spreadsheet using the webdav interface and was planning on parsing the excel with POI when I ran into that doc and my understanding of it is that it was doing what I need. Looks like there's no alternative but doing my own work :) Thanks, 2011/12/15 Vincent Legendre <vincent.legendre(a)eurodecision.com&gt; > I can't see anything telling that XLS tables are converted to guided > tables in this chapter ... and I am not sure of how it could be done safely > (semantics are not really equivalent). > > To me, the only thing you can do with an uploaded XLS, is to download it > back (may be using "/binary") and save the response to a file) and then > manipulate it with something like POI ou JXLS ... before re-PUTting it in > Guvnor. > > But this doc do use "/source".
