BIRT-Viewer DB connection error [message #985873]

Hi,

I 'designed' a BIRT-Report under Eclipse (a modified 'test.rptdesign' from the BIRT Runtime download). DB access is directly by MYSQL JDBC driver, which is located in the BIRT-Viewer directory. The report is running well when called from Eclipse. Calling the BIRT-Viewer from a PHP script works as well, however DB access fails (see message and catalina log entry below).

Modifications to the report were including a parameter and a data-field which creates the '200' in the output (see below) and a table with a simple 'SELECT * FROM tablename' statement.

The environment is:

BIRT-Runtime 4.2.1
Tomcat 7.0
Eclipse: Helios Service Release 2, Build id: 20110218-0911 (today's download)

Can you help me?

PS.: I am aware that this problem is not really new, there are some postings in forums. But I didn't find a solution by now, so I try again.

Congratulations!

If you can see this report, it means that the BIRT viewer is installed correctly.

Sample Parameter:

200

Hi Nicola,

yes, I found a solution and the setting works. However, as I am really not skilled in the Java environment I did'nt really understand what I did. The simple solution was to follow exactly the checklist in message #644333 at the end of thread #644132 (osuwariboy vs. Jason Weathersby).

Again: I have no idea what they were talking about, but the checklist describes clear and comprehensively what to do.

Good luck

Christian

I am running:

Tomcat 7.0 under Windows 7
mysql-connector 5.0.8
Eclipse BIRT project 2.6.2.r262
MySQL 5.1.41
