## org.drools.builder
Class KnowledgeBuilderFactory

    java.lang.Object
      org.drools.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();

Constructor Summary
`KnowledgeBuilderFactory()`

Method Summary
`static DecisionTableConfiguration` | `newDecisionTableConfiguration()` DecisionTable resources require a ResourceConfiguration, that configuration instance is created here.
`static JaxbConfiguration` | `newJaxbConfiguration(com.sun.tools.xjc.Options xjcOpts, String systemId)`
`static KnowledgeBuilder` | `newKnowledgeBuilder()` Create and return a new KnowledgeBuilder, using the default KnowledgeBuilderConfigurations
`static KnowledgeBuilder` | `newKnowledgeBuilder(KnowledgeBase kbase)`
`static KnowledgeBuilder` | `newKnowledgeBuilder(KnowledgeBase kbase, KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration conf)`
`static KnowledgeBuilder` | `newKnowledgeBuilder(KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration conf)` Create and return a new KnowledgeBuilder, using he given KnowledgeBuilderConfigurations
`static KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration` | `newKnowledgeBuilderConfiguration()` Create a KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration on which properties can be set.
`static KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration` | `newKnowledgeBuilderConfiguration(Properties properties, ClassLoader... classLoaders)` Create a KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration on which properties can be set.

Method Detail

### newKnowledgeBuilder

    public static KnowledgeBuilder newKnowledgeBuilder()

  Create and return a new KnowledgeBuilder, using the default KnowledgeBuilderConfigurations

  Returns:
    The KnowledgeBuilder

### newKnowledgeBuilder

    public static KnowledgeBuilder newKnowledgeBuilder(KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration conf)

  Create and return a new KnowledgeBuilder, using he given KnowledgeBuilderConfigurations

  Returns:
    The KnowledgeBuilder

### newKnowledgeBuilder

    public static KnowledgeBuilder newKnowledgeBuilder(KnowledgeBase kbase)

### newKnowledgeBuilder

    public static KnowledgeBuilder newKnowledgeBuilder(KnowledgeBase kbase,
                                                       KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration conf)

### newKnowledgeBuilderConfiguration

    public static KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration newKnowledgeBuilderConfiguration()

  Create a KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration on which properties can be set.

  Returns:
    The KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration.

### newKnowledgeBuilderConfiguration

    public static KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration newKnowledgeBuilderConfiguration(Properties properties,
                                                                                 ClassLoader... classLoaders)

  Create a KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration on which properties can be set. Use the given properties file and ClassLoader - either of which can be null.

  Returns:
    The KnowledgeBuilderConfiguration.

### newDecisionTableConfiguration

    public static DecisionTableConfiguration newDecisionTableConfiguration()

  DecisionTable resources require a ResourceConfiguration, that configuration instance is created here. Note that if you are passing a Reader, you must use an InputStreamReader so the encoding can be determined.

       KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder = KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder();
       DecisionTableConfiguration dtconf = KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newDecisionTableConfiguration();
       dtconf.setInputType( DecisionTableInputType.XLS );
       dtconf.setWorksheetName( "Tables_2" );
       kbuilder.add( new URL( "file://IntegrationExampleTest.xls" ),
                             ResourceType.DTABLE,
                             dtconf );
       assertFalse( kbuilder.hasErrors() );
       KnowledgeBase kbase = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeBase();

  Returns:

### newJaxbConfiguration

    public static JaxbConfiguration newJaxbConfiguration(com.sun.tools.xjc.Options xjcOpts,
                                                         String systemId)
