The res-migrate Ant task migrates a RuleApp archive created in JRules 5.1 to a JRules 6.x compatible RuleApp archive.

To perform a RuleApp archive migration from a running application server where the BRE Server has been installed:

classpath Subelement

Not required. The classpath subelement declares the global classpath used to parse rulesets of the JRules 5.1 RuleApp archive. For more information on the classpath subelement, see the Ant documentation and in particular path-like values.

include Subelement

Not required. The include subelement specifies the rulesets that will be migrated. This is useful if there is a XOM incompatibility problem between rulesets. By default all rulesets are migrated.

exclude Subelement

Not required. The exclude subelement specifies what rulesets will not be migrated.This is useful if there is a XOM incompatibility problem between rulesets.

Examples

To migrate all rulesets of a RuleApp:

      <res-migrate file="myruleappV5.jar" destfile="myruleappV6.jar">
          <classpath>
              <pathelement location="myxom.jar" />
          </classpath>
      </res-migrate>

After the execution, myruleappV6.jar contains all the RuleApp/rulesets of myruleappV5.jar in the new format.

Using the include subelement to solve a static XOM incompatibility problem:

      <res-migrate file="ruleappV5.jar" destfile="ruleappV6.jar">
          <classpath>
              <pathelement location="myxomV1.jar" />
          </classpath>
          <include name="/myruleapp/1.0/myruleset/1.0" />
      </res-migrate>

After the execution, myruleappV6.jar contains only the RuleApp "/myruleapp/1.0" with the ruleset "myruleset/1.0" in the new format.
