Fernando, Thanks for the tip about JSF dependencies-- I believe I've gotten past that error with the BRMS. (Downloaded JSF1.3 and copied jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar to Tomcat's lib directory. I also threw in commons beanutils, collections, and digester per a web posting I'd found that advocated these actions.)
So now JSF and Tomcat are happy, I can run the sample JSF apps just fine. Back to the BRMS! It seems JackRabbit is unhappy-- it's complaining about the empty custom_nodetypes.xml file I've got in Tomcat's bin/repository/repository/nodetypes directory. Here's the stacktrace: Jul 26, 2007 8:44:18 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener org.drools.repository.RulesRepositoryException: javax.jcr.RepositoryException: internal error: failed to read custom node type definitions stored in custom_nodetypes.xml: Premature end of file.: Premature end of file. at org.drools.brms.server.repository.BRMSRepositoryConfiguration.newSession (BRMSRepositoryConfiguration.java:91) I'm afraid I'm new to Jackrabbit, so I tried downloading and building the given release (1.3) and supplying a valid custom_nodetypes.xml from the build-- of course that didn't work. Neither did removing the parts of that file that seemed specific to the Jackrabbit build. Can you please point me in the right direction?
