Hello,
I have everything in my web.xml in order for our web app to run birt reports. it works great on a windows server, but am having a difficult time with getting it to run on linux, and I believe it has to do with the absolute root file path.
here is my configuration in web.xml
<context-param>
<param-name>BIRT_VIEWER_WORKING_FOLDER</param-name>
<param-value>c:/opt/folder/reports/</param-value>
</context-param>
i tried putting slashes "\" and "/" (dont know if that is the problem or not). files must be store in this folder. I am using birt 2.6.1
Thanks,
James

Jason,
I tried that and now get an error that looks like this (windows server):
The report file : C:\..\BIRT\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tm p2\wtpwebapps\PROJECT\opt\tcrdms\reports/REPORT_test.rptdesi gn does not exist or contains errors. Its like if i take out the c: then it looks within the context of the project. Is there another configuration I need to set to make it look from the root dir? Thanks for your help.
James

Can you use different web.xml files for each environment?

James,
I am not sure what the issue is. You can put a full path in the working
folder setting in the web.xml.

Yes, and there (web.xml) is some Boolean value too, to allow ANY path.
Bu default it does not allow anything (for security).
