I am fairly new to Drools. I am using guvnor 5.4.0. Final installed on Tomcat 7.0.27. Following the instructions in the documentation, I 1) Defined/downloaded the a repository.xml pointing to a mysql instance using the Administration -> Repository Configuration wizard. 2) Stopped Tomcat, removed the $CATALINA_HOME/bin/repository.xml and repository directory 3) Copied the new repository.xml to $CATALINA_HOME/bin 4) Started Tomcat 5) Using guvnor, my assets were created/stored in the mysql db 6) Stopped Tomcat 7) Started Tomcat 8) Guvnor wrote a new repository.xml into $CATALINA_HOME (NOT $$CATALINA_HOME/bin which still contained the db version created in step 1.) and had 'forgotten' about the assets created in step 5. 9) Stopped Tomcat 10) Replaced the $CATALINA_HOME/repository.xml with a copy of the $CATALINA_HOME/bin/repository.xml. 11) Started Tomcat 12) Guvnor started using the mysql instance again and 'remembered' the assets from step 5 Now there are two repository.xml files in $CATALINA_HOME and $CATALINA_HOME/bin. This should not be necessary re the documentation. Why did it create a new repository/repository.xml in $CATALINA_HOME after a Tomcat restart? Which repository.xml is it really using now? How can I convince it to only use one of them? [Also of note: the workspace.xml files in $CATALINA_HOME/repository/workspaces/default and $CATALINA_HOME/bin/repository/workspaces/default are identical after step 11.] Thanks, Mark -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Drools-Tomcat-Mysql-dueling-repository-...
