[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (DROOLS-466) Reading Rules packaged inside jar

[Mario Fusco (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-466?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Mario Fusco resolved DROOLS-466.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Rejected


The issue you reported starts from this assumption:

"I was under impression that KIEmodules are auto discovered from anywhere in classpath."

that is wrong. That's why I am closing this ticket but feel free to reopen it if I am misunderstanding something. 

In particular the drl file are discovered only inside kjars (jar containing a kmodule.xml file or the spring equivalent). To cover your scenario you can put your rules in a separated kjar and define at least a kbase there. Then in your spring xml you can define a second kbase including the first.

I hope this helps,
Mario

> I am working on DROOLS 6.0.1 application. I have my rule files (*.drl) packaged inside a separate project which is included as a jar file as a maven dependency. When I deploy my project, KIEModule is not able to find the rules files (which are packaged inside the jar above). I am not getting an error though but rules are not getting fired.
> If I manually place the rules files under classpath say WEB-INF/rules/*.drl they are detected and rules are executed.
> I was under impression that KIEmodules are auto discovered from anywhere in classpath.
> Any pointers are appreciated. This is general question hence I have not included the comprehensive code files. Everything start working once I place the *.drl files in the classpath (take them outside of jar).
> On Further invstigation by looking into the code, I found that 
> addFiles(assets,  kBaseModel, kModule);
> Call from "AbstractKieModule" fails and its not able to find the rules packaged inside the JAR file placed under WEB-INF\lib folder. I get this warning message on the console
> 08:40:02,113 WARN  [org.drools.compiler.kie.builder.impl.AbstractKieModule] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 55) No files found for KieBase kie-base-old, searching folder \Apps\jboss-eap-6.1\standalone\deployments\Application.war
