Class KnowledgeBuilderFactory

java.lang.Object
org.kie.internal.builder.KnowledgeBuilderFactory
public class KnowledgeBuilderFactory extends Object
This factory is used to build the knowledge base resources that are held collectively in KnowledgePackages. The KnowledgePackage also provides the role of 'namespacing'. An optional KnowlegeBuilderConfiguration can be supplied. The KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration is itself created from this factory. The KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration allows you to set the ClassLoader to be used along with other setting like the default dialect and compiler, as well as many other options. 
 KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder = KnowlegeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder();

 DecisionTableConfiguration dtconf = KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newDecisionTableConfiguration();
 dtconf.setInputType( DecisionTableInputType.XLS );
 dtconf.setWorksheetName( "Tables_2" );
 kbuilder.add( new URL( "file://IntegrationExampleTest.xls" ),
                       ResourceType.DTABLE,
                       dtconf );
