Hi all,
I'm currently designing reports using BIRT but all of my frontend interface is in PHP. Since those reports are all accessible via the Web through an HTTPS connection, using the solution presented here is not an option:
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/usingPHP.php
"http:localhost:8080" does not work over the internet and even if it did, I'd end up losing my secured connection anyway since control would then jump to Tomcat which is unsecured.
This is why I ended up using phpjavabridge which calls the reports from PHP and consequently my Apache server which IS secured. There's no other way to put it but that it was a nightmare to setup until I've stumbled upon this thread:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&goto=49139 4&
That successfully solved my problem... until recently where BIRT decided to upgrade their report engine and all of the new reports decided to stop working with the error:
[[o:Exception]:"java.lang.Exception: Invoke failed: [[o:RunAndRenderTask]]->run. Cause: org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: Error happened while running the report.

Which essentially means nothing and everything at once. So, I tried upgrading the engine following the same steps I followed initially (replacing all of the jar in the lib directory except a select few)... and nothing. Same problem.
A new version of javabridge conveniently shows up, I decided to try this one... same mistake. Upgrade the BIRT enging... same mistake.
I've tried the three versions of Tomcat available... same result. I just don't know what to do anymore. All I want is for my reports to be accessible via the web through a secure connection with a PHP frontend. Is it really THAT complicated to accomplish?
Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestion you people might have.

What version of the Designer are you using? What version of BIRT
runtime did you update to? Can you list the jars that are in the
WEB-INF/lib

I've done as instructed, but I get this error this time around:

It's almost like Javabridge cannot cope with the filenames having changed from one version to the other.
Is there a place where one can upgrade these references?

Also verify that you did not leave the javabridge.war in the webapps
directory of tomcat.

Jason Weathersby... you are my savior!!!!!!! For people who will read this in the future, here is exactly what I did (assuming you already have the necessary BIRT runtime downloaded, that is):
1) Stop Tomcat
2) Flush any JavaBridge already in place (actually moving the JavaBridge folder into another dummy directory is recommended here)
3) Put the new JavaBridge.war file in the webapps directory of Tomcat
4) Restart Tomcat and let it decompress the .war file, it should create a new directory
5) Stop Tomcat
6) Move the JavaBridge.war file away from the webapps directory to prevent any future interference
7) Locate the JavaBridge/WEB-INF/lib directory of your JavaBridge (normally, the first file inside should be BirtEngine.jar) and rename it however you please (in my case, I merely renamed it lib_old)
8 ) Next, decompress your BIRT runtime into a folder and locate the ReportEngine/lib directory inside. Then, copy it at the location found in step 7 (normally, you should have lib and lib_old along with a few other folders if you follow my naming convention)
9)Next, from your lib_old folder, copy the following files in the new lib folder:
birtEngine.jar
JavaBridge.jar
jaxrpc.jar (this one was actually removed from the JavaBridge 6.2.1, but I haven't encountered any problems even if it isn't there... bottom line, if you have it, take it, if you don't then just ignore it)
lucene.jar
php-script.jar
php-servlet.jar
script-api.jar
10) Next go to the JavaBridge/WEB-INF/platform and you should see a "plugins" directory. Rename that "plugins_old"
11) From your BIRT runtime decompressed folder, grab the ReportEngine/plugins folder and copy it in the location found at step 10
12) Now, enter your new plugins folder and locate a folder that should be named something like:
org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_version (where "version" is something that will change, for me it was 2.6.1.v20100909)
13) Inside, you should find a "driver" folder that should only contain a readme.txt file. What you need to do here is download a jdbc connector jar file and put it there. I myself used the same one that I used with my version of Eclipse.
What I did personally was go to my folder:
eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.6.1. v20100909\drivers
and copy the "mysql-connector-java-5.1.12-bin.jar" I found there into the folder mentioned at step 12
Once I did that and subsequently restarted Tomcat... everything was fine and dandy. Keep in mind of course that the version of your connector might change, but I don't think it really matters.
I really have to thank Jason again for his invaluable help in setting everything up. I never would have done it without his help.
Good luck with JavaBridge everyone and thanks Jason
