  • 1.  Equivalent for the ant task 'res-write-file' in Build Command Maven plugin

    Posted 05/09/22 08:37 PM

    We are working on writing new build scripts from scratch using the Build Command Maven plugin to avoid the pain of updating the existing build agent and standup new build agents while upgrading the ODM platform.

    What is the equivalent for the ant task 'res-write-file' in maven?

    Suppose I unpack the ruleapp archive (produced using the maven plug-in) to the res_data folder to run Junit cases. In that case, Maven complains that it can't retrieve the information about the ruleset /XYZRuleApp/1.0/XYZRules/1.0 in the 'res_data' folder.

    I believe the issue is the issue of the unpacked RuleApp\1.0 and Ruleset\1.0 folders missing the below files. We get these files using the 'res-write-file' ant task.

    1) creation_date.txt

    2) properties.txt

    3) display_name.txt

    When I use a decision deployment in the Rule Designer to deploy the RuleApp to a 'Local Rule Execution Server on Java SE' target server (res_data folder), the RuleApp/1.0 and Ruleset/1.0 folders contain the below mandatory files for the rules execution using j2serulesession. However, the RuleApp archive produced by the maven plugin for the same deployment doesn't include the below files.

    1) creation_date.txt

    2) properties.txt

    3) display_name.txt

    Isn't that a bug in the Build Command maven plugin? If not, why is there a difference in the created archives content?

    Hello Charan,

    In the RuleApp archive, this information is stored into META-INF/archive.xml file.
    In maven, you can use the provided ANT task directly using the maven-antrun-plugin :
    <plugin>
      [...]
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
      <executions>
        <!-- Install ruleapps -->
        <execution>
          <id>install-ruleapps</id>
          <phase>generate-test-resources</phase>
          <configuration>
            <tasks>
              <taskdef name="res-write-file" classname="ilog.rules.res.tools.persistence.IlrWriteFileTask">
                <classpath refid="maven.runtime.classpath" />
              </taskdef>
              <taskdef name="for" classname="net.sf.antcontrib.logic.ForTask">
                <classpath refid="maven.runtime.classpath" />
              </taskdef>
              <for param="file">
                <path>
                  <fileset dir="${ruleapps.download.dir}">
                    <include name="**/*.jar"/>
                  </fileset>
                </path>
                <sequential>
                  <echo>Installing ruleApp @{file}</echo>
                  <res-write-file
                    failonerror="true" dir="${ruleset.repository.path}"
                    file="@{file}"
                  mergingpolicy="REPLACE_MERGING_POLICY"/>
                </sequential>
              </for>
            </tasks>
          </configuration>
          <goals>
            <goal>run</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
        [...]
    </plugin>

    Hope this helps,

    Nicolas
