Hello,

I have two questions. Hopefully they are very simple:

1. If I wanted to dynamically update a package in the RuleBase because I
found out that the drl was updated on disk, can I just do this:

ruleBase.addPackage(myPackage);

And this will automatically replace (remove the old one, and add the new
one)? Or do I have to implicitly first remove the existing one and THEN add
the modified one again?

I have the following code:

if (ruleBase.getPackage(onePackage.getName()) != null) {
        ruleBase.removePackage(onePackage.getName());
}
ruleBase.addPackage(onePackage);

Is this a code practice to do?

2. My second question is, the statement above in the body of the IF block,
threw the following exception:

Exception in thread "AdminHandler_0_123877285495354"

Any ideas why that is?

Thanks.
