Checking the class path to the XOM and rule engine

Check that the class path of the Java™ project contains the references to the XOM and the rule engine.

About this task

The Java project for rules sets the class path to the XOM and the rule engine library. You can view the class path in the properties of the Java project.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the Java project in the Rule Explorer, and select Properties in the pop-up menu.
  2. In the Properties dialog, select Java Build Path.
  3. Select the XOM reference:
    • If the XOM references a Java project, select the Projects tab and make sure that the XOM is in the list of required projects.
    • If the XOM references a JAR file or a class folder, select the Libraries tab and make sure that the XOM reference is included in the list of required JARs and class folders.
    Note: If you do not want the XOM classes to be included in the class path of your project, you can create your own class loader and set it manually.
  4. Click the Libraries tab and make sure that IBM ODM Rule Engine Library is displayed.

    The rule engine library contains the JARs required for the execution.

  5. Click OK again.

What to do next

After checking that the class path to the XOM and the rule engine is correct, you can edit the ruleset execution method.
