Drools integration issues in Activiti-Explorer-5.17

[newbie1]

Hi,

I am trying to use drools in a BusinessRuleTask and getting this error - deployment — doesn't contain any rules. I copied all the jar files mentioned in this post - http://forums.activiti.org/content/unable-connect-activiti-drools into apache-tomcat-7.0.61\webapps\activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\lib. I also test that rule was correct and was able to load in standalone rule-engine test.

I did change activiti-custom-context.xml file to include following property :

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

What else could be the issue for explorer to not find rules in deployment ?

thanks

Property added to xml file -
<property name="customPostDeployers">
         <list>
           <bean class="org.activiti.engine.impl.rules.RulesDeployer" />
         </list>
</property>

Do you see the resource being listed in ACT_GE_BYTEARRAY?

Hi,
i'm in the same situation, trying to get the example running.

i'm using the same version 5.17.0 and drools 5.5.0.Final

i have already added the 3 .jar the the classpath (Knowledge, drools-core, and drools-compiler )

At this point i can do the deploy in activity explorer, and start the process, but when the process reaches the BusinessRuleTask i'm getting this error: " deployment — doesn't contain any rules "

When i try to add the lines mencioned above:
<. property name="customPostDeployers" >
  <. list >
    <. bean class="org.activiti.engine.impl.rules.RulesDeployer" />
  <. /list>
<. /property>

The activiti-explorer crahes.
I notice that the file activiti-custom-context.xml it's all comented, and perhaps this is not what I have to do.

In this question: http://forums.activiti.org/comment/21118#comment-21118
trademak say that the BusinessRuleTask in 5.14 is not supported anymore, and i don't know if this continues in version 5.17.0 or if the BusinessRuleTask should work as expected.

Please, can anyone help me? Thanks a lot!

The txt file attached is a false extension, remove the last part ".txt" leaving only "testDrool No Rules Found.zip" to get the code

That comment referes to something else (< 5.14 the implementation was different).

I checked your zip, but it refers to a lot of jars on your machine

(Description Resource Path Location Type
Project 'activiti-examples' is missing required library: 'C:/Users/Martin/Desktop/lib17/activiti-process-validation-5.17.0.jar' activiti-examples  Build path Build Path Problem)

What do you mean with explorer 'crashes'. Surely there must be a stacktrace?

the same issue with me. it sounds like BusinessRuleTask is not supported anymore. please any one can help

[jbarrez]

"it sounds like BusinessRuleTask is not supported anymore. "

It is. What makes you think it isn't?
What have you tried doing that fails?

[mohammed8960]

i tried the same bar with Activiti 5.14 after adding the required jars and the following property "customPostDeployers" to class "org.activiti.engine.impl.rules.RulesDeployer"
with  processEngineConfiguration bean in activiti-standalone-context.xml file inside Activiti Explorer and working fine .

when i tried the same example with Activiti 5.20 always gives me deployment xxx no rules found.

added to that in Activiti 5.20 after adding the required jars i didn't find processEngineConfiguration bean to add the required property.

your fast feedback are highly appreciated

[jbarrez]

You configure the process engine config in activiti-custom-context.xml/

[mohammed8960]

yes and working fine after modifying activiti-custom-context.xml

Thank you
