If you use the one packagebuilder, and you add the source first from the one
with the function, and then the others, yes that should work just fine !

Another newbie question - I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do is legal.
I have two drl files, and one contains a function that I would like to use
from the other. Is that possible? I am loading the one with the function
into the rule base first, then the other. But I get an error message from
the other saying the function cannot be resolved. If I copy the function
into the other, then it works.
Of course, I can always write a Java helper class for a single definition
of the function. But I was just wondering if it is possible to maintain a
single function definition in a drl.
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment!

New subject: [drools-user] using function from another .drl file
Ah -- that was the problem, I was using a new packagebuilder each time
(d'oh)!
But that brings up another thing...in some cases, I may want the rules
source for a given package to be spread across multiple drl files. (I know
the convention is to have everything from the package in a single drl file,
but for management and organization we may need to spread across multiple
drl files). In order to add drls to an existing package, I have to be able
to get the package name from the drl to look up a hashed builder. Is there
any part of the public API, e.g from the antlr parser, that might help me
with that? I have a very inefficient workaround at the moment, but if I
could get to the parse interface, I might be able to make it better.
Thanks,
Justine

Yes the PackageDescr object has a package name property which is where the
name lives. Not sure if you can easily get that from PackageBuilder, but if
you go a little more low level, you can use DrlParser to get PackageDescr
yourself, and there you go (peek at the PackageBuilder source code if you
need more hints).

There is also an ant task that can take a set of files (rules) and build
them altogether for you if needed.
