Problem adding drools dependency to Grails 2.0.3

[Lloyd Meinholz-2]

I'm trying to add a drools dependency to grails 2.0.3.

I added the dependency by adding the following to the repositories block in BuildConfig:

mavenRepo "https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/"

and the following to the dependencies block:

runtime ('org.drools:drools-distribution:5.3.0.Final')

When I build the war, the appropriate drools jars seem to be there.

When I try and run the application, I get the following:

...

This is a new app that was created as a grails 2.0.3 application on windows 7. I have the jbossas and dojo plugins installed.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Thanks,

Hello Lloyd, I will be following the outcome of your issue.

I'm curious as to how you got the Drools plugin to install nicely under
2.0.3?

My efforts to install the Drools plugin renders my 2.0.3 app useless and
it will not execute at: run-app.

Uninstalling the Drools plugin restores my Grails app to its' former
vigor.

Regards, David.

I always start debugging these strange runtime problems with 'grails clean' and 'grails refresh-dependencies' and that tends to fix the problem when it is otherwise completely inexplicable like this one..

It doesn't sound like he is installing a drools plugin, just a dependency on the drools jar at runtime.

 

[Lloyd Meinholz-2]

As Samuel said, I am manually adding the dependency, not using the plugin.

I've started with the drools-gorm plugin to see if I can figure out how they've avoided the issue but haven't figured anything out yet. I will post here when I do figure it out.

I tried the clean and refresh-depenendencies. I tried deleting the project files and re-importing the project. I even deleted the ~/.grails folder. None of these seem to help and I have the same issue. Thanks for the idea though.

So it is simply the existence of the dependency which causes everything to break?  I'd have to assume that, in that case, one of the transitive dependencies must be overriding one of the jars that the rest of your app is dependent upon with an incompatible version of something.  I'd take a look at the dependencies of the drools library and start adding 'excludes' statements to your BuildConfig line until you figure out which jar is the problem.  Then you'll have to determine if drools functions correctly with the version that works with grails or not.

Lines in the dependencies section would look like this:

        compile('org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-core:2.1.1.RELEASE')  {

            excludes "spring-aop", "spring-beans", "spring-context", "spring-context-support", "spring-core", "spring-tx"

        }

And don't forget to clean and refresh dependencies after making changes like that, too, since I wouldn't be surprised if the jars don't get properly expunged otherwise.

I think I found the issue but it doesn't make sense. The drools-distribution seemed to be pulling src jars but not the binaries. When I changed the dependencies to pull the individual projects that I wanted (drools-compiler, drools-core, etc.) then things seemed to work ok. I don't know if it is a problem with how the drools-distribution is built or my understanding of its purpose. Anyway, things seem to be ok now. Thanks,

BTW, drools 5.4.0 was released today and drools-distribution works in BuildConfig. So the issue was definitely something with the maven repository version of drools 5.3.0. Yikes.
