classes and source for BIRT runtime 4.3.2 does not match [message #1328168]

Hello,

I am updateing older code to birt 4.3.2. Now I have a problem with the creaton of the birt engine. The call to Platform.createFactoryObject(..) returns null. To find a solution I downloaded the birt sources for debugging.

Now the problem is, the runtime and the sources does not match, at least for the class Platform. This makes it nearly impossible to get the right results.

I am using Eclipse Keppler.
I downloaded the source from this page:
http://download.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/build.php?build=R-R1-4_3_2-201402251404
For the sources I downloaded, birt-source-4_3_2.zip. For my deployment I used the jars from birt-runtime-4_3_2.zip from the same page.

What should I do now? Maybe install a snapshot? Load the whole birt project?

Harald

Sorry for the late reply Harald, did you find a solution to this? I
haven't used the engine in 4.3.2 yet so I'll have to set something up on
my end to see if I get the same thing as you.

I still have this issue.

My application have a servlet inside of a tomcat server. The servlet waits for a request of my appliction to render a report and reply a pdf file.

Now I have to update may servlet to a new BIRT version. But I get null when I try to create the ReportEngineFactory.

Platform.startup( config );
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform.createFactoryObject( IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY );
birtEngine = factory.createReportEngine( config );

The result of createFactoryObject is allways null. I cannot debug into the birt code because the source does not match the classes. I don't know how to make the next step to get this running.

Maybe someone can give me a hint what is wrong with my code? Maybe there is another solution to get a BirtEngine? Maybe someone knows how to get the right source jars to debug into the birt sources? Maybe I have a chance with an other version (4.3.2 - 4.2.0)?
