[rules-users] Unhappy (hoppy?) jackrabbit

[Wagner Rick - rwagne]

Fernando,

Thanks for the tip about JSF dependencies-- I believe I've gotten past
that error with the BRMS.  (Downloaded JSF1.3 and copied jsf-api.jar and
jsf-impl.jar to Tomcat's lib directory.  I also threw in commons
beanutils, collections, and digester per a web posting I'd found that
advocated these actions.)

So now JSF and Tomcat are happy, I can run the sample JSF apps just
fine.  Back to the BRMS!

It seems JackRabbit is unhappy-- it's complaining about the empty
custom_nodetypes.xml file I've got in Tomcat's
bin/repository/repository/nodetypes directory.  Here's the stacktrace:

Jul 26, 2007 8:44:18 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext
listenerStart
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance
of class org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener
org.drools.repository.RulesRepositoryException:
javax.jcr.RepositoryException: internal error: failed to read custom
node type definitions stored in custom_nodetypes.xml: Premature end of
file.: Premature end of file.
	at
org.drools.brms.server.repository.BRMSRepositoryConfiguration.newSession
(BRMSRepositoryConfiguration.java:91)

I'm afraid I'm new to Jackrabbit, so I tried downloading and building
the given release (1.3) and supplying a valid custom_nodetypes.xml from
the build-- of course that didn't work.  Neither did removing the parts
of that file that seemed specific to the Jackrabbit build.

Can you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks much,

Rick
