[rules-users] Can't get InputStream for Reader

[Jones, Alan R]

...and I forgot to add that the rules file is NOT on the classpath, it
is created by another application at runtime, on the fly.
getResourceAsStream requires classpath, I suppose, but I need to make a
package  dynamically. We know the classpath cannot be changed when the
system is running.

 Hi,

I am trying to read a .drl file from a location on the disk via:

Reader source = new
InputStreamReader(this.class.getResourceAsStream(ruleFile));

But my InputStream is coming back null. I have another class engineMgr
that actually starts a new thread and then kicks off all the rule base
initialization, etc, then when I get to the point of reading in the drl
file is when it chokes. Any ideas? Maybe I can read the file another
way?
