I was able to resolve the issue mentioned above by adding the follwoing line to the VM arguments of my Eclipse Server Run Configuration for both, the Tomcat for the Drools Engine as well as the Tomcat for the Guvnor: -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 (Added to: Package Explorer > Servers > Run As > Run Configurations > Apache Tomcat > Arguments > VM arguments)
To me it seems that the package parser needs to be modified so that it is able to detect wether the package is encoded with the correct character charset (UTF-8) before parsing - in other words catching an encoding exception. Otherwise the parser is confronted with tons of characters its grammar isn't designed for and will crash (silently) leading to the strange behaviour I already described in the error post. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/org-drools-compiler-DroolsParserException-while-adding-Package-from-DRL-tp3527243p3535529.html Sent from the Drools: User forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ rules-users mailing list rules-users@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-users
