Hi,
By going through the code it seems possible to achieve this by modifying
ProcessBuilder.addProcessFromFile. Easiest check would be to see whether the
XML contains element called as "process". Since XML Parsing is internal to the
individual releases (4.0 uses XStream and 5.0 uses XMLReader), I am not sure
whether we should form a XML document from the reader to check if the process
belongs to version 4.0 or compliant.
Brute force check would be indexOf ("<process") >= 0 then it is 5.0 else 4.0
;-). I am sure there would be better ways than this kind of check.
I do not mind taking this further. Due to lack of in depth knowledge about
drools, I am not able to decide what the approach should be for checking the
version.
This would be a really good feature as it would mean that drools 5.0 is
backward compliant for rule flows J. And this adds lot of confidence to
enterprises.
p.s. Since this was now moving towards dev, I have moved the thread to the dev
mailing list.
Thanks.

You are a star, that saves us a lot of work :) I'm wondering if we can work
this into the package reader and some how have it detect whether something is
version 4 or 5 and convert first if it's 4, fancy having a look and seeing if
that's possible?

Hi,
I have attached a file for translating rule flows from 4.0 to 5.0. I have
tested my flows with the XSL and it works fine. However, the XSLT may not be
quite slick or compact as I have touched upon XSLT after a long time. I have
covered all the nodes available (ruleSet, start, end, join, split, milestone,
action and subProcess).
There is one issue in the XSLT. I have not added the xmlns attribute to the
process element. Reason is that this attribute appears in child nodes too with
empty string, even though it is not mentioned for the child nodes. This
attribute is needed in the 'process' node because the Eclipse editor for 5.0
ignores the process node if there are more than 2 sub processes in that
ruleflow. Am not sure why this is happening but that has been my observation.
In case XSLT is not present as an attachment then let me know the location
where it can be uploaded.
Thanks.

No they are not compatible, 5.0 has a new ePDL XML language that is human
writable. I suggest that somone in the community starts looking into an XSLT to
translate them.

Hi All,
I wanted to know if RuleFlows made using the Eclipse 4.0.7 RuleFlow Builder
will work with 5.0.0. When, I try to upload a 4.0.7 ruleflow into Guvnor, I
get a NullPointerException and before that the following:
Cannot find the declaration of element
'org.drools.ruleflow.core.impl.RuleFlowProcessImpl'.
I checked the 5.0.0M1 jars for drools-core, and this class seems to have been
removed from there. Also, after installing the 5.0.0 plug-in into Eclipse, my
rule-flow nodes have all gone.
Also, this may be a minor bug but it says(both in the docs and the BRMS Guvnor
M1 Release):
"Ruleflows allow flow control between rules. The eclipse plugin provides a
graphical editor. Upload ruleflow .rf files for inclusion in this package.":
Should the .rf say .rfm ?
Cheers,
Vikrant
