If you have created a .drl file you can kBuilder.add( ResourceFactory.newFileResource( "some.drl" ), ResourceType.DRL ); if( kBuilder.hasErrors() ){ ...} OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream( "some.pkg" ); ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream( os ); oos.writeObject( kBuilder.getKnowledgePackages() ); That's now a serialized package. And so you can load this package into a Knowledge Base: KnowledgeBase kBase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase(); InputStream is = new FileInputStream( "some.pkg" ); ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream( is ); @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") Collection<KnowledgePackage> kpkgs = (Collection<KnowledgePackage>) ois.readObject(); ois.close(); kBase.addKnowledgePackages( kpkgs ); -W On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 6:46 AM, S.

Hello, If I understand correctly then, if I do the following: 1) Create a brl file 2) Using one of the webdav solutions listed, upload the brl file to the correct package Guvnor should be able to pick up the additional rules? Additionally, is there anything specific I would have to do for creating an entirely new package? Thank You, Scott McKee On 17/03/2010 8:06 AM, david_nabble wrote:

I created a package in Guvnor and uploaded a ruleflow. You can also deploy the rulflow to Guvnor through Eclipse plugin. Then build the package in guvnor. You'll see this option by clicking in the package you have your ruleflow. Once it builds correctly you can consume this by doing the following: KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder = KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder(); try { kbuilder.add( ResourceFactory.newUrlResource( "http://localhost:8080/drools-guvnor/org.drools.guvnor.Guvnor/package/default/LATEST"), ResourceType.PKG ); for ( KnowledgeBuilderError error: kbuilder.getErrors() ) { System.out.println(error); } knowledgeBase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase(); knowledgeBase.addKnowledgePackages( kbuilder.getKnowledgePackages() ); } catch (Throwable t) { System.out.println(t.toString()); } My package is named "default" but you can name it whatever you want. Note that you have to use ResourceFactory.newUrlResource() and passed the URL (Guvnor also provides you with the URL to your package) and declare type as ResourceType.PKG. This is working for me.... -- View this message in context: http://n3.nabble.com/Question-About-Programmatically-Creating-Drools-Rule... Sent from the Drools - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
