Rick, We had the same issue/concern and chose to pass the drl to our engine. We bypass the default BRMS deployer and created a custom servlet to return the drl. Here is some logic that will generate the drl. PACKAGE_UUID = uuid of your package REPOSITORY_SERVICE = "org.drools.brms.client.rpc.RepositoryService"; ServiceImplementation imp = (ServiceImplementation)Component.*getInstance*( RulesManagementConstants.* REPOSITORY_SERVICE* ); String responsePayload = imp.buildPackageSource( RulesManagementConstants.*PACKAGE_UUID *); As a warning though, you may run into upgrade issues since you are entering the non-supported api.
