bob mcwhirter commented on DROOLS-444: -------------------------------------- No, this is important, and great stuff. Thanks! > JSR94 integration into managed/nonmanaged environments > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DROOLS-444 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DROOLS-444 > Project: drools > Type: Bug > Components: jsr94 > Reporter: Sascha Coenen > Priority: Trivial > > > I packaged Drools into a JCA1.5 compliant connector module cause that's a > nice way to bundle the libs into one deployable unit and also to do the rest > of the setup in there, like binding the RuleServiceProvider implementation > into JNDI. > Doing this, I noticed that the current RuleServiceProviderImpl class doesn't > implement the Serializable or Referenceable interface and therefore cannot be > bound into a JNDI context. After having it implement Serializable everything > worked fine. > As a sidenote: > I noticed that there are links on the drools website which are supposed to > lead to JSR-94 examples (for instance Miss Manners) but instead they only > contain rule files and no JSR-94 java codes samples. As your JSR-94 > implementation passes the TCK and works pretty flawlessly, it kind of > deserves more publicity... ;) It's a bit of a pitty that the website only > features the native API. > As a very tiny sidenote: > In your sources there is a sample code snippet featuring the bootstrap > procedure for setting up Drools in JSR-94 "mode" in a non-managed environment: > RuleServiceProvider ruleServiceProvider = ruleServiceProvider = new > RuleServiceProviderImpl(); > Instead of instantiating the RuleServiceProviderImpl class directly which > creates a compile-time dependency on the drools implementation, the bootstrap > should be performed like this: > // bootstrap > RuleServiceProviderManager.registerRuleServiceProvider("http://drools.org";, > Class.forName("org.drools.jsr94.rules.RuleServiceProviderImpl")); > // lookup > RuleServiceProvider p = > RuleServiceProviderManager.getRuleServiceProvider("http://drools.org";) > I know this is very unimportant stuff... but I felt like reporting it > nonetheless because for users wishing to employ the JSR94 wrapper of drools > but not being proficient with the spec, it might be helpful to grasp that the > JSR-94 API fully alleviates compile-time dependencies on rule-engine-specific > classes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
