BIRT Servlet: The change of the location of the platform folder? [message #630554]

Hello,

Is it possible to change the location of the platform folder of the BIRT servlet?

Currently it seems to be hard coded to the
WEB-INF\platform\

Is it possible to change the location of the:

1) WEB-INF\platform\

2) WEB-INF\platform\plugins\

3) WEB-INF\platform\configuration\

folders outside of the war package.

BR,

Mika

Currently this is hard coded in the viewer. You can check out the code
and change it or write your own servlet using the engine. The
configuration directory which is written to by osgi can be changed with
an osgi parameter in the config.ini. If you want to do this see this link:

Hello,

I tried to use

osgi.install.area=file:/c:/birtRuntimePlugins2_6_1/

but it didn't work. There was an exception:

[5.10.2010 10:03:36:476 EEST] 0000003d SystemErr     R org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.BirtException: error.CannotStartupOSGIPlatform
[5.10.2010 10:03:36:492 EEST] 0000003d SystemErr     R        at org.eclipse.birt.core.framework.Platform.startup(Platform.java:92)
[5.10.2010 10:03:36:492 EEST] 0000003d SystemErr     R        at pdf.BirtEngine.getBirtEngine(BirtEngine.java:82)
[5.10.2010 10:03:36:492 EEST] 0000003d SystemErr     R        at pdf.PDFServlet.init(PDFServlet.java:275)

My servlet is based on the BIRT 2.5 example on the page:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_%28BIRT%29_2.1

Is it possible to have a plugins folder outside of the war package and use osgi.install.area or other configuration parameter?

BR,

Mika

Mika,

In that example if you do not want to use the web-inf/platform folder do
not create the PlatformServletContext and set a birt home ie:

config.setEngineHome("c:/mybirtplugins");
//IPlatformContext context = new PlatformServletContext( sc );
//config.setPlatformContext( context );
