I'm generating a fat jar of my project using sbt assembly. Then, when trying to run my jar file, i get a nullpointer on this line:
val kieServices: KieServices = KieServices.Factory.get
val kieContainer: KieContainer = kieServices.getKieClasspathContainer
I've already tried adding a kie.conf
, but this does not help. I am not using maven or a pom file etc. And am using scala sbt.
Running drools' latest version.
build.sbt:
ThisBuild / version := "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
ThisBuild / scalaVersion := "2.13.10"
lazy val root = (project in file("."))

src/main/scala/src/Main.scala (sorry not sorry):
package src
import org.kie.api.KieServices
import org.kie.api.runtime.KieContainer
object Main extends App {
val kieServices: KieServices = KieServices.Factory.get
val kieContainer: KieContainer = kieServices.getKieClasspathContainer
}
Debugging shows that
import scala.jdk.CollectionConverters._
ServiceLoader.load(classOf[KieServices], classOf[KieServices].getClassLoader)
.asScala.size
is 1 when I do sbt run
but 0 when I do java -jar myJar.jar
.
In the former case KieServices.Factory.get
returns org.drools.compiler.kie.builder.impl.KieServicesImpl@...some...hashcode...
but in the latter case it returns null
.
Try to add a file src/main/resources/META-INF/services/org.kie.api.KieServices
with content
org.drools.compiler.kie.builder.impl.KieServicesImpl
One more issue is that, on contrary to sbt package
, sbt assembly
is missing this file from the assembly jar. So try to unpack myJar.jar
, put manually this file as myJar.jar/META-INF/services/org.kie.api.KieServices
and zip the jar back (myJar.jar/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
should exist but myJar.jar/META-INF/services
is probably missing: https://github.com/sbt/sbt-assembly/issues/11)
java.util.ServiceLoader.load() function is useless and only returns empty result
How to include a config file in the "META-INF/services" folder of a JAR using Maven
It's missing from assembly jar because of
assembly / assemblyMergeStrategy := {
case PathList("META-INF", xs@_*) => MergeStrategy.discard
in your build.sbt
. So modify the strategy:
assembly / assemblyMergeStrategy := {
case PathList("META-INF", "services", "org.kie.api.KieServices") => MergeStrategy.concat
case PathList("META-INF", xs@_*) => MergeStrategy.discard
case _ => MergeStrategy.first
}
and service file will be included into assembly jar.
Actually, the service file already exists in the dependency: ~/.cache/coursier/v1/https/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/drools/drools-compiler/8.31.1.Final/drools-compiler-8.31.1.Final.jar:META-INF/services/org.kie.api.KieServices
So you shouldn't add it manually, just do case PathList("META-INF", "services", "org.kie.api.KieServices") => MergeStrategy.concat
.
There are different service files in drools-compiler-8.31.1.Final.jar:META-INF/services/
so be careful with case PathList("META-INF", xs@_*) => MergeStrategy.discard
, it's possible you'll have more problems later if you ignore service files.
Try
assembly / assemblyMergeStrategy := {
case PathList("META-INF", "services", xs@_*) => MergeStrategy.concat
case PathList("META-INF", xs@_*) => MergeStrategy.discard
case _ => MergeStrategy.first
}
