A XOM path is a project output folder in the workspace. To activate the necessary buttons in Rule Studio to add a XOM path to a ruleset archive JAR, you need to associate a ruleset with a ruleset archive JAR file, not a rule project. If the ruleset comes from a rule project, the XOM path is managed by the rule project.

To add a XOM path to a ruleset archive JAR:

  1. In the Rule Explorer, expand the RuleApp project, then double-click the RuleApp descriptor (archive.xml file).
  2. Click the Ruleset Archives tab.
  3. Select a ruleset archive.
  4. Click Add project output as XOM.
  5. In the dialog that is displayed, select the output folder, then click OK.

If the XOM path or JAR file is not in the workspace, you can still add a XOM path or a JAR file to a ruleset archive JAR.

To add an external XOM path or JAR file:

  1. In the Rule Explorer, expand the RuleApp project, then double-click the RuleApp descriptor (archive.xml file).
  2. Click the Ruleset Archives tab.
  3. Select a ruleset archive.
  4. Click Add file as XOM.
  5. In the dialog that is displayed, select a ruleset archive JAR file, then click OK.

If required, you can remove a XOM path from the XOM of a ruleset archive.

To remove a XOM path:

  1. In the Rule Explorer, expand the RuleApp project, then double-click the RuleApp descriptor (archive.xml file).
  2. Click the Ruleset Archives tab.
  3. Select a ruleset archive.
  4. Click Remove from XOM.
  5. In the dialog that is displayed, select the XOM path to remove, then click OK.
