Hi All,I going crazy on this, how to configure into activiti-explorer? I have done the followinglaced Drools-Core, Drools-Compiler, Knowledge-Api (all are 5.5.0-final version) and mvel-2.1-Drools16 jars into C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-7.0.69\webapps\activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\libnow all the pos

below is what i saw in many other posts:

<beans>
          <bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.StandaloneInMemProcessEngineConfiguration">
            <property name="databaseSchemaUpdate" value="true" />
            <property name="customPostDeployers">
             <list>
              <bean class="org.activiti.engine.impl.rules.RulesDeployer" />
             </list>
            </property>
          </bean>
        </beans>

below piece I have added to activiti-custom-context.xml:

<property name="customPostDeployers">
             <list>
              <bean class="org.activiti.engine.impl.rules.RulesDeployer" />
             </list>
            </property>

Yes, uncommenting everything that is in activiti-custom-context.xml that is within WEB-INF and adding the postdeployer does the trick.
Also remember you need to add the drools libraries to your webapp, they are not there by default!

Hi jbarrez,

Thank you for the reply. I did exactly the same thing.
1. Uncommented everything in activiti-custom-context.xml present in WEB-INF/classes
2. Added below property to processEngineConfiguration bean
<property name="customPostDeployers">
<list>
<bean class="org.activiti.engine.impl.rules.RulesDeployer" />
</list>
</property>
3. Added below jar file into apache-tomcat-7.0.69\webapps\activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\lib
drools-compiler-6.4.0.Final
drools-core-6.4.0.Final
mvel2-2.1.0.drools16
knowledge-api-6.4.0.Final
Now I uploaded the .bar file which has both bpmn and drl file.
below is the code of both:

<businessRuleTask id="businessruletask1" name="Business rule task" activiti:ruleVariablesInput="${DiagCode}" activiti:rules="match-diagCodes" activiti:resultVariable="isDiagMatch" activiti:exclude="true"></businessRuleTask>

.drl file
——

rule "match-diagCodes"
when
(DiagCode == "486")
then
isDiagMatch = true;
System.out.println ("############### match is true");
end

now I started tomcat and opened activiti-explorer through browser. Now I tried to upload .bar file, it is not uploading and I see following error in tomcat logs(localhost file)

Drools 6.x won't work, Drools 5.5 does work I believe.
Api's changed greatly between 5 and 6, and we need to update our business rule task.

Hi jbarrez,

Sorry for the late response from my end. This time I have done the same thing as above by placing following jars.
drools-compiler-5.5.0.Final
drools-core-5.5.0.Final
mvel2-2.1.0.drools16
knowledge-api-5.5.0.Final

the server started fine but when I upload the bar I am getting the following exception:

I have read all most everything about activiti business rule task find in internet and the book. I could not find any solution for version 5.20. Below is my code snippet in different files needed for business rule. Could you please check if I am wrong anywhere and are those libraries versions fine ?

business rule code:
—————-
<businessRuleTask id="businessruletask1" name="Business rule task" activiti:ruleVariablesInput="${DiagCode}" activiti:rules="match-diagCodes" activiti:resultVariable="isDiagMatch" activiti:exclude="true"></businessRuleTask>

.drl file
——
rule "match-diagCodes"
when
(DiagCode == "486")
then
isDiagMatch = true;
System.out.println ("############### match is true");
end
