[rules-users] Automatic unsubscribing from a Guvnor resource

[Chris Selwyn]

My Guvnor is setup to save its repository in an Oracle database. 
However, the DBAs have a schedule that takes the database down at night 
for backup.

I am finding that, if I set up the ResourceChangeNotifier/Scanner system 
then the resource gets unloaded from the KnowledgeBase when the database 
is down.

Is this really a sensible behaviour?
I would like to think that there would be a distinction between the 
resource disappearing from the repository (in which case it would 
expected that the rules disappear from the  KB) and the repository not 
being accessible (in which case I would hope that the rules would remain 
cached in the KB).

I am using JBoss Rules 5.0.
