Two questions. I am interested in using RuleAgent but with the file or dir property rather than the URL. However, it is not clear to me where the directories or files must actually be located. If I use dir=/ then the DirectoryScanner is invoked and claims to have found some number of files, but I have no idea WHERE it is scanning. If I add anything like dir=/foo then I get an invalid directory exception. If I try file=/foo.pkg then I get exception that this is invalid file. Question 1 - is there an example somewhere that can help me understand where I am going off the track? I am working Eclipse environment. Question 2 - if using the BRMS and URL, can there be a backup dir, file, or cache option that is in the classpath rather than a specific directory? I would like to distribute an Eclipse application that has a rule package deployed, but that overrides this with the URL if available. Thanks. - Mike _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users

My problem is not knowing what directory it is actually scanning. If I put anything in the property file except 'dir=/' then I get an invalid directory error. It accepts this entry, tells me it found 34 files, none of which of course is a rule file, and I can't even find a place on my machine that has 34 unique files in it. I am a little hobbled by Eclipse because it is difficult sometimes to tell where the root of an RCP actually lives. - Mike dave sinclair wrote: > > Mike, > > For question #1, check out the Javadoc for RuleAgent.
