Hello
Till today I was writing all my security rules into a single drl file generated by seam-gen but finally it become to big and not easy to maintain. I've decided to split security roles for each role into a single drl file. So I've created several drl files in resources directory and modified my components.xml in the following way:
...
<drools:rule-base name="securityRules">
<drools:rule-files>
<value>/security.drl</value>
<value>/ConfigAdminSecurity.drl</value>
<value>/SchoolAdminSecurity.drl</value>
<value>/CourseOrganizerSecurity.drl</value>
</drools:rule-files>
</drools:rule-base>
...
After that the only working rules are the rules from the second file in the list: ConfigAdminSecurity.drl. I've added the following rule to every file:
rule Debug
when
person: Person()
then
System.out.println("------------------> file name here");
System.out.println("------------------> Person.id = " + person.getId());
System.out.println("------------------> Person.email = " + person.getEmail());
end
And this rule is fired only in ConfigAdminSecurity.drl but not in the other files.
There are no errors or exceptions caused by incorrect DRL syntax or multiple rules with the same name (each file defines rules in different packages). The only exception I can see is org.jboss.seam.security.AuthorizationException in situation which should be allowed by one of my rules.
Does anybody know how can I investigate this problem and solve it? Having all rules in a single file is definitely not the best solution.
