[rules-dev] [feature-proposal] Execution Environment Governance Via A Push Model

[Mark Proctor]

The polling is now separate, all it does is call "mvn install" at regular intervals. It is possible to implement an alternative one that calls "mvn install" on remote request, although we haven't implemented that yet, but someone could do it by following the Scanner class and just hooking it up with JMS push.

We will probably add that for 6.1, but while the pushing feature and api is trivial, it would take time to building the tooling.

This is an enterprise project, so we have about 6 different environments that the kpackages need to be promoted to over time. However, we've had issues with promoting assets via the polling/pull model that is implemented in the KnowledgeAgent, as sometimes packages will be pulled accidentally due to user error. I know the 6.x project moves to KieContainer/KieServices using Maven, but my reading of the code suggests that this is still a polling model against the Guvnor Repository. To me, it seems that polling does not provide sufficient governance of the execution environment, and that one would need to "push" a specific version of an KBase into a specific environment, without a redeployment, to achieve the proper level of control.
