Calling KieScanner throws ClassNotFoundException


I have several Drools projects and would like to be able to dynamically load rules changes. The projects all work fine until I tried to add KieScanner to them. I followed the directions here: http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/6.0.1.Final/drools-docs/html/DroolsReleaseNotesChapter.html#d0e515

I am using drools 6.1.0.Final with Wildfly 8.0.0.Final

The documentation indicates that having the dependency for the kie-ci in my class path was enough. Clearly either I am doing something wrong or the documentation is wrong.

The project builds but when it is called, I get this trace:

This business rules project is itself incorporated into the actual WARs that are deployed to Wildfly.This is the dependency used in the application poms:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sial.rules</groupId>
            <artifactId>sial-rules</artifactId>
            <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>

I recently discovered that the extra dependency breaks our Arquillian Unit tests. Since Arquillian has a completely different maven integration, my best guess is that this is a bug in KIE. It is very similar to BZ1098018

Adding this extra dependency "fixes" the issue when the code actually calls kie-ci, however with this dependency our Arquillian tests fail to deploy.

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-aether-provider</artifactId>
   <version>3.0.5</version>
</dependency>

Solution

  • The problem is that kie-ci includes an older version of maven (3.0.5) than does Arquillian (3.1.1) Specifically the maven-aether-provider. Arquillian (really ShrinkWrap) really wants to use the newer version.

    I tried forcing the 3.0.5 version in the pom.xml but get the issue of the resolver. This is the error: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unable to boostrap Aether repository system. Make sure you're running Maven 3.1.0 or newer.

    So basically kie 6.1.0.Final is incompatible with Arquillian 1.1.5.Final

    I will have to see if the Kie 6.2.0CR3 release will work
