Hi all,

I have create a Birt project using jsp.It works fine but I want to create a property file which contained some paths where the reports located and Tomcat paths in order to make the installation easier.

Do you have any idea or example how to call the property file?I was reading that through web.xml I can do the servlet mapping but I cannot find it.

I would appreaciate an answer

Regards,
Mary

Are you using the Viewer or are you writing your own BIRT engine servlet?

Mary,

The default location for the reports is set in the web.xml

<context-param>
<param-name>BIRT_VIEWER_WORKING_FOLDER</param-name>
<param-value>/myreports</param-value>
</context-param>

If the value is blank the reports are located at the context root. In
the above example if I specify __report=mytestreport.rptdesign in the
url it will look for the reports in the contextroot/myreports.
