Are you upgrading the viewer or just the engine? If you are replacing
the engine just download the 2.6 runtime and replace your current
birt-runtime-2_3_2\ReportEngine\lib with
birt-runtime-2_6_0\ReportEngine\lib and your
birt-runtime-2_3_2\ReportEngine\plugins with
birt-runtime-2_6_0\ReportEngine\plugins. Also delete
birt-runtime-2_3_2\ReportEngine\configuration directory and replace it
with birt-runtime-2_6_0\ReportEngine\configuration.

Hello,
until now I was using birt-runtime-2_5_1.

I just downloaded the birt-runtime-2_6_0. When I run my application I get the following error:

Jul 7, 2010 3:25:15 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke

I even tried the birt-runtime-2_5_2 but then I got another error:

Is there some compatibility issue between birt-runtime versions? I tried deleting
everything in WEB-INF\platform\configuration except
the config.ini file as was suggested in another thread for a similar problem, but nothing changed. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Katerina

I am trying to do the same thing, upgrade from 2.3.0 to 2.6. Does anyone what I have to do to get it up and running with 2.6?

Did you try:
Are you upgrading the viewer or just the engine? If you are replacing
the engine just download the 2.6 runtime and replace your current
birt-runtime-2_3_2\ReportEngine\lib with
birt-runtime-2_6_0\ReportEngine\lib and your
birt-runtime-2_3_2\ReportEngine\plugins with
birt-runtime-2_6_0\ReportEngine\plugins. Also delete
birt-runtime-2_3_2\ReportEngine\configuration directory and replace it
with birt-runtime-2_6_0\ReportEngine\configuration.

I took all the plugins/configurations/lib files in the2.6 report viewer and copied them over the old 2.3.0 files that were in are web app. It seems that we have integrated 2.3.0 report viewer with are app. I just replaced all the 2.3 with 2.6 report viewer jar's/jsp's and it worked.

Well it looks what I did is what you told me to do. This was just to see if going to 2.6 would clear up some other out standing problems.

The other thing that I noticed is, with 2.3.0 you could have a data type of any and now, 2.6 do not like this, however from what I have tested, It seems to still work.

Thanks
