Using external jars for pojos in drl using Drools 5

Question

I'm a newbie to Drools - i'm creating an application that uses drl files but my model is in a separate jar. When I reference the pojos locally in the drl it works fine, but when I put the pojos in a separate jar, it fails with a runtime exception complaining that's it's uncompilable code. Is there any way to reference pojos from the drl file that are in another jar?

Answer 1

I'm doing this in my project. You can use a BRMS, like Drools Guvnor.

There, you can upload you jar with your model, so your *.drl can use them.

Or, you can just copy the model jar to the folder that have drl files (your package).
