Anyone has luck integrating BIRT with Tomcat5.5 Java1.4 [message #32516]

Hi,

I have downloaded the compatability package for tomcat 5.5 to work with
Java 1.4 as described in the integration page.

tomcat is working with Java 1.4, but I am still not seeing any output from
the browser.

In the tomcat logs, it showed
May 2, 2005 11:59:02 PM
org.eclipse.birt.core.framework.server.ServerPlatform <init>
SEVERE: load plugin C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\webapps\birt-viewer\WEB-INF\plugins\drivers failed

Anyone got this configuration working, please help!!

Thanks in advance

There is a system setting that tells BIRT where to find the drivers
directory. If this is not set it looks in WEB-INF/plugins/drivers. Look in
your birt folders for a directory called 'drivers', it should
contain a directory called jdbc. Copy the drivers directory to your
WEB-INF/plugins directory.
You should end up with this:

webapp
+WEB-INF
+plugins
| +drivers
| +jdbc
| +lib
| [jdbc drivers e.g.
mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar]
| +org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.html
| + [other plugins]

Once you do this you will get startup errors saying that 'drivers' is not a
plugin. You can ignore this message.

You also might need to copy the 'js.jar' from BIRT to Tomcat's common/lib

Alex,

The M2 build has some problems in Tomcat 5.5. The "run" option works, but
the "frameset" option does not. These problems should be fixed in the next
milestone build.

Does the test report (from the web page) work using the "run" operation?

Hi jdixon,

I did what you mentioned, ie put on the relevant files in their respective
directories.

Still, Im seeing the same errors.

Are there anything else missing?

Thanks,
Alex

my mistake, the message you are seeing is the one you should ignore about
the driver dir being located in the plugins dir. from Paul's post sounds
like you need to wait for the next milestone or just use the 'run' option.
