<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I have an app that can run with a local DRL file and with 4.07 and BRMS, all has been working. Migrating to 5 to take advantage of Guvnor. However, when I try to instantiate a RuleAgent using a properties file, my code goes to heaven (or the other place). From the code below, the subsequent console output results, which indicates connection to Guvnor and apparent creation of the rulebase, but the code never returns.<div><br></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px;
