6.1.1. Build Result Severity
Copy link

You can change the default severity of a type of build result. This can be useful if, for example, a new rule with a duplicate name of an existing rule is added to a package. (In this case, the default behavior is to replace the old rule with the new rule and report it as an INFO.) In some deployments the user might want to prevent the rule update and report it as an error.

Procedure 6.1. Task

  1. To configure it using system properties or configuration files, insert the following properties: 
    // sets the severity of rule updates
drools.kbuilder.severity.duplicateRule = <INFO|WARNING|ERROR>
// sets the severity of function updates
drools.kbuilder.severity.duplicateFunction = <INFO|WARNING|ERROR>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. To use the API to change the severities, use this code: 
    KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration kbconf = ...

// sets the severity of rule updates to error
kbconf.setOption( KBuilderSeverityOption.get( "drools.kbuilder.severity.duplicateRule", ResultSeverity.ERROR ) ); 
// sets the severity of function updates to error
kbconf.setOption( KBuilderSeverityOption.get( "drools.kbuilder.severity.duplicateFunction", ResultSeverity.ERROR ) );
