[rules-users] Insert a fact into drools server from a web application or java application

[kkelleyjr]

I posted that before I was done... oops... here is the class I have to call
the drools server...

private static void sendMessage() throws ClassNotFoundException,
			JAXBException, PropertyException, IOException,
			ClientProtocolException {
		List<String> myDomainClasses = new ArrayList<String>();
		  myDomainClasses.add("com.koder.example.facts.Message");
		
		  		
		  // I need to create a JAXB context including my domain classes	
		  // to be able to create a JAXB representation to send to the server
		  jaxbContext =
DroolsJaxbContextHelper.createDroolsJaxbContext(myDomainClasses, null);
		
		  Message test = new Message();
		  test.setMsg("blah");
		  
		
		  // Once I get my object I need to create
		  // some commands to execute on the server
		  // Here I include a reference to the session that	
		  // I define in my Knowledge Context Profile
		  List<Command> listOCommand  = new ArrayList<Command>(); 	  
		  Command insertObjectCommand = CommandFactory.newInsert(test, "testFact",
true, null);
		  Command fireRules           = new FireAllRulesCommand();
		  
		  listOCommand.add(insertObjectCommand);
		  listOCommand.add(fireRules);
		  
		  BatchExecutionCommand cmd =
CommandFactory.newBatchExecution(listOCommand, "ksession1");
		
		  // Once I get all I need to send to the server,
		  // I need to use the JAXB context
		  // to obtain the JAXB representation.
		  StringWriter xmlReq = new StringWriter();
		  javax.xml.bind.Marshaller marshaller = jaxbContext.createMarshaller();
		  marshaller.setProperty("jaxb.formatted.output", true);
		  marshaller.marshal(cmd, xmlReq);
		
		  // I create a HTTPClient to interact with the
		  // server via REST (HTTP POST)
		  DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
		 
		  //Print the JAXB xml that we will send to the server
		  System.out.println("XML:\n" + xmlReq.toString() );
		
		  HttpPost postMethod = new
HttpPost("http://localhost:8080/drools-server/kservice/rest"); 
		  
//		  HttpParams p = new BasicHttpParams();
//		  p.setParameter("execute",  xmlReq.toString());
//		  postMethod.setParams(p);
//		  
		  StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(xmlReq.toString());      
		  entity.setContentType("text/plain"); //"application/xml"      
		  postMethod.setEntity(entity);  
		  
		 // HttpClientParams.setRedirecting(postMethod.getParams(), false);
		  
		  
		  HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(postMethod);
		
		
		  System.out.println(response);
	}

the comments are left in from the original code from salaboy's post... 

the message that I get back is:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found [Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1, Allow: POST,OPTIONS,
Date: Tue, 09 Aug 2011 22:35:36 GMT, Content-Type: text/xml, Content-Length:
0]

trying to figure out what went wrong...
