Hi Fernando,

Removing the compiled package will help, but the problem that myself and the
other users have encountered also occurs with the RuleAgent url due to the
incorrect version of mvel (see the first part of my earlier post in this
thread). I suspect you will also need to update the mvel jar in the lib
directory in
http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossrules/trunk/drools-examples/drools-examples-brms/libfrom
mvel14-1.2pre5.jar to mvel14-1.2rc1.jar.

My main concern is that this problem is in the official 4.0 GA download
option "Drools 4.0.0 Examples", and consequently a lot of new users may have
problems getting the BRMS examples to work. As the examples are often the
first thing new users try, then it would be good to fix this and make the
fix available on the Drools download page, as well updating the trunk.

Regards
Shahad
