[rules-users] RESTful Example

[Qian, Tony]

All,

First, I apologize long email. I have a few questions on how to use RESTful web Service on Execution Server. I have read through the document and followed the instruction. I think I missed a few critical steps. Here are what I did.


1)      Created package, category, rule, a java class (Referral as fact).

Class Referral {

                String homeState;

                String servviceType;

                String stateLicenseNumber;

...

}

2)      Used Test Scenarios tool to test rule. Everything worked perfectly.

3)      Installed Execution Server in JBoss.

4)      Added a mytest.properties file under \drools-5.0-guvnor-standalone\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\drools-server.war\WEB-INF\classes\

<change-set xmlns='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set'";

        xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'

        xs:schemaLocation='http://drools.org/drools-5.0/change-set drools-change-set-5.0.xsd' >

        <add>

          <resource source=http://localhost:8080/DroolsDemo_sfasdfasd.pkg type='PKG' />

        </add>

</change-set>

5)  Add jar file for above java class in lib directory.

6)      Created java class to call mytest RESTful service.


PostMethod method = new PostMethod("http://localhost:8080/drools-server/knowledgebase/mytest");
            method.setRequestHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
            method.setRequestHeader("Accept","text/xml");
            method.setRequestHeader("Content-Encoding","UTF-8");
            try{

                  File f = new File("Request.xml");
            method.setRequestBody(new FileInputStream(f));

            }catch(Exception e){

            }



Request.xml content is:


<knowledgebase-request>
  <globals>
  </globals>
  <inOutFacts>
    <named-fact>
      <id>testFact</id>
      <fact class="Drools.ReferralDetail">
        <homeState>FL</homeState>
        <serviceType>HH</serviceType>
        <stateLicenseNumber></stateLicenseNumber>
      </fact>
    </named-fact>
  </inOutFacts>

</knowledgebase-request>



I got RuleBase mytest not known or is not valid.



Here are my questions:



1)      Did I miss any other steps? Anything I did wrong?

2)       If I run execution server on different server, where I should put pkg file and how to make necessary changes to mytest.properties?

Sorry for long email. Appreciate your help and Happy Holidays.

Tony
