How to integrate KIE Workbench 6.1.0.Final (Drools Guvnor) Project with Java Application - workbench

Question

I am using KIE Workbench 6.1.0.Final and my Eclipse project where I am trying to execute rules is also 6.1.0 Runtime enabled.
I like to know how I can execute/load rules created using Drools Guvnor, from my java application. Before posting this question, I have looked at the following similar questions and tried the given approaches but none of them worked for me.
Integrating Drool 6 work bench with Java Application
why does loading Drools 6 KIE JAR into code fail?
Loading Drools/KIE Workbench artifacts directly from the repository
KIE Workbench Integration Responds with 401
I have followed the steps given here click this to create a project and defined the rule. I am able to build and deploy the rules. I have tried the following code to load the projects but all fails with different exception. Pls note that I am able to access the workbench jar from the browser.
Approach 1.
public void load1(){
KieServices kieServices = KieServices.Factory.get();
ReleaseId releaseId = kieServices.newReleaseId( "com.example.rule", "RuleProject", "1.0" );
KieContainer kContainer = kieServices.newKieContainer( releaseId );
KieBaseConfiguration kieBaseConf = kieServices.newKieBaseConfiguration();
kieBaseConf.setOption( EventProcessingOption.STREAM );
KieBase kBase = kContainer.newKieBase(kieBaseConf);
for ( KiePackage a : kBase.getKiePackages()) {
for (Rule r : a.getRules()) {
System.out.println("KiePackage {} Rule {}"+ new Object[]{a.getName()+"-"+ r.getName()});
}
}
}
Exception
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot find KieModule: com.example.rule:RuleProject:1.0
at org.drools.compiler.kie.builder.impl.KieServicesImpl.newKieContainer(KieServicesImpl.java:99)
Approach 2.
public void load2(){
String url = "http://example.com/drools/maven2/com/example/rule/RuleProject/1.0/RuleProject-1.0.jar";
ReleaseIdImpl releaseId = new ReleaseIdImpl("com.example.rule", "RuleProject", "1.0");
KieServices kieServices = KieServices.Factory.get();
kieServices.getResources().newUrlResource(url);
KieContainer kieContainer = kieServices.newKieContainer(releaseId);
// check every 5 seconds if there is a new version at the URL
KieScanner kieScanner = kieServices.newKieScanner(kieContainer);
kieScanner.start(5000L);
// alternatively:
// kieScanner.scanNow();
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
while (true) {
//runRule(kieContainer);
System.out.println("Press enter in order to run the test again....");
scanner.nextLine();
}
}
Exception
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot find KieModule: com.example.rule:RuleProject:1.0

Approach 3.
public void load3() throws IOException{
String url = "http://example.com/drools/maven2/com/example/rule/RuleProject/1.0/RuleProject-1.0.jar";
KieServices ks = KieServices.Factory.get();
KieRepository kr = ks.getRepository();
UrlResource urlResource = (UrlResource) ks.getResources()
.newUrlResource(url);
urlResource.setUsername("admin");
urlResource.setPassword("password");
urlResource.setBasicAuthentication("enabled");
InputStream is = urlResource.getInputStream();
KieModule kModule = kr.addKieModule(ks.getResources()
.newInputStreamResource(is));
KieContainer kContainer = ks.newKieContainer(kModule.getReleaseId());
kContainer.newStatelessKieSession();
}

Answer 1

Change your eclipse runtime to 6.0 0 and keep the workbench to 6.1.0 final. This should work with your approach 3. However you won’t be able to use KieScanner.

Answer 2

I had the same issue as yours. Working on the 3rd approach you have mentioned, I was able to get it to work finally.
The problem lies in the UrlResource class which was not able to authenticate properly and hence the issue. I replaced the UrlResource with following code snippet:
String userpassword = "username:password";
String url = "http://localhost:8080/drools/maven2/com/org/project/1.0/project-1.0.jar";
httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection)new URL(url).openConnection();
String authEnc = new Base64Encoder().encode(userpassword.getBytes());
httpURLConnection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic "+ authEnc);
is = httpURLConnection.getInputStream();
KieModule kModule = kr.addKieModule(ks.getResources().newInputStreamResource(is));
and used this kModule to get the kContainer and kSession.
