[rules-users] RuleAgent question

[J Michael Dean]

Two questions.  I am interested in using RuleAgent but with the file  
or dir property rather than the URL.  However, it is not clear to me  
where the directories or files must actually be located.  If I use

dir=/

then the DirectoryScanner is invoked and claims to have found some  
number of files, but I have no idea WHERE it is scanning.  If I add  
anything like dir=/foo then I get an invalid directory exception.

If I try file=/foo.pkg then I get exception that this is invalid file.

Question 1 - is there an example somewhere that can help me understand  
where I am going off the track?  I am working Eclipse environment.

Question 2 - if using the BRMS and URL, can there be a backup dir,  
file, or cache option that is in the classpath rather than a specific  
directory?  I would like to distribute an Eclipse application that has  
a rule package deployed, but that overrides this with the URL if  
available.

Thanks.
