[rules-users] Rules not picked when packaged inside the JAR

[Mark Proctor]

This may be a container issue, which container are you using?

It doesn’t locate resources via the classloader. Instead it locates the jar on the file system and scans the contents of the jar. The jar must have a kmodule.xml file inside of it to be recognised and it’s resources added.

We know this works for normal jars. Inside of JBoss EAP you need to add the JBoss VFS jar (I think). We recently made weblogic work, and are currently investigating websphere.

When I deploy my project, KIEModule is not able to find the rules files (which are packaged inside the jar above). I am not getting an error though but rules are not getting fired. If I manually place the rules files under classpath say WEB-INF/rules/*.drl they are detected and rules are executed. I was under impression that KIEmodules are auto discovered from anywhere in classpath. Any pointers are appreciated. This is general question hence I have not included the comprehensive code files. Everything start working once I place the *.drl files in the classpath (take them outside of jar). I have opened the JIRA issue @ Link Thanks
