Hi,

I am newbie to web applications as well to JSP/PHP/Tomcat etc. etc.

I have downloaded Birt and have created successfully a simple
report and now I want to test it by deploying to Tomcat 5.5.

I have Installed Tomcat 5.5 from standard repositories and
I could get it working by url localhost:8180 and I can use
admin, manager, sample application successfully.

I followed instructions on page
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/viewerSetup.php

and copied the viewer directory to /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/
restarted tomcat but in manager link I could not see the
birtviewer but is I copy them to /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/
I could see the birtviewer directory in manager but when Click
the birtviewer URL in Manager I get following error.

--------------------------------------------------
HTTP Status 404 -

type Status report

message

description The requested resource () is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5
--------------------------------------------------

Can somebody help me in this situation.

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 desktop on Dell Vostro-1710 laptop

thanks and best regards

The problem is that in Debian/Ubuntu Tomcat is started using the java
security manager. One solution is to deactivate the security manager
in /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5. But Following is more ellegant since it
relaxes security only for one application i.e. ReportViewer.

edit /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/50user.policy and add following line

grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/ReportViewer/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

saved the file and restarted tomcat.

with http://localhost:8180/ReportViewer

the signature "index.jsp" appeared in browser.But the testreport
execution failled with some error messages. Instead of solving those
error I decided to try my own report which is working in designer.

I added my own working report to the ReportViewer Directory
and edited the "index.jsp" for URL to my report and viola !!!

I could see my report running.

Thanks to developers of Birt who had brought lot of simplicity
by virtue of which without any past web development experience
and with little knowledge of php,jsp I could get my evaluation
report working in flat 4/5 days in spare time working on it.

Keep it up and long live Birt.

best regards.
