Drools 6.0 dynamically load rules at runtime

Question

I want to load a drl file at runtime. The posts I\'ve found including this one work for version 5.0 but I can\'t figure out how to do it for drools version 6.0.

Answer 1

In Drools 6, your rules packages are deployed to Maven. A KieScanner is provided, which you can attach to your KieContainer. This polls your repository at a defined interval to see whether a package has been updated and downloads the latest if that's the case.

A full explanation of how to define a KieScanner (including code samples) is provided in the Drools documentation here:
