[rules-users] Help with URL resource caching

[benji2212]

I'm using KnowledgeAgent to poll regularly for three DRL files hosted on a
web server.  If the web server goes down for any reason or one of the DRL
files becomes unavailable, the change scanner and knowledge agent
unsubscribe from the resource(s) that were unavailable.  

After reading some topics on the forum, I found that setting the
drools.resource.urlcache system property should correct this.  However, I've
been unable to get this to work properly.  The code I'm using is below.  Any
insight into what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.  I'm using drools
5.1.1.

                        System.setProperty("drools.dateformat",
"MM/dd/yyyy");
			System.setProperty("drools.resource.urlcache",
"C:\\Users\\0000000\\Documents\\rule-cache");
			
			//start the scanner service and resource change notifier service
			changeNotifier = ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeNotifierService();
			changeScanner = ResourceFactory.getResourceChangeScannerService();
			changeNotifier.start();
			changeScanner.start();
			
			kagent = KnowledgeAgentFactory.newKnowledgeAgent("My Knowledge Agent");
			URL url = RulesRuntimeImpl.class.getResource(CHANGE_SET_PATH);
			Resource drl = ResourceFactory.newUrlResource(url);
			kagent.applyChangeSet(drl);


My change set file looks like this: 
<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://mysite.com/test/FirstDecisionTable.drl"
type="DRL" />
        <resource source="http://mysite.com/test/SecondDecisionTable.drl"
type="DRL" />
        <resource source="http://mysite.com/test/ThirdDecisionTable.drl"
type="DRL" />
    </add>
</change-set>

and the output I get when a resource in the change set becomes unavailable:
