Hi,

I have used lattest build of BIRT i.e. 1.0.

I am trying to view the test report (in HTML format) which comes with the
installation (test.rptdesign). I use the engine API and use the same
program given as example in Integrating BIRT using the report engine.

And to exexute the program I use following java command:

java RunReport test.rptdesign -h sample=Hello

But I am getting following error:

SEVERE: Error.OutputFormatNotSupported
Report C:/test.rptdesign run failed.

org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: The output format html
is not supported.

Can anybody please help me to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jimmy
Yesterday I had the same problem.
I had to add all the jars from
C:\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_1.0.0\birt \WEB-INF\lib
in the classpath. Then it worked.
This is described elswhere in the FAQ's but not in the description of
the test program. It also works only on eclipse 3.0 for me, not with 3.1

Hope this helps,
Reto

Hi Reto,

Thanks. I already added all the .jar files into classpath, and then I
compiled the file.

So no error in compilation but when I execute it then getting the same
error.

Don't know why its giving such error, I used the same things in tomcat to
use inbuilt viewer and it works.

Hi
I am getting exactly the same problem ie: BIRT 1.0 (with Eclipse 3.1)
running the sample java application.

I have added all the suggested jars to the classpath but I am still
getting the error "org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: The
output format html is not supported."

Did you find a solution to this??

Thank you.
Benn.

There's a missing line in the example:

Platform.getExtensionRegistry();

also you need to set the following environment variables:

-DRUN_UNDER_ECLIPSE=false -DBIRT_HOME=<path to your lib folder containing
the plugins>

Hi Benn. I was having the same problem. You need to set the
engine home value to your birt eclispe install directory. Once
I did that, everything worked fine.

Specifically, set the second line in the run method:

config.setEngineHome( "**PATH TO YOUR WEB-INF DIRECTORY HERE**" );

Note: I didn't change my class path, so birt seems to need
the plugin xml files in the web-inf directory. Here is a list
of the jar I am referencing.

Tidy.jar
commons-cli-1.0.jar
commons-codec-1.3.jar
core.jar
dte.jar
engine.jar
js.jar
model.jar
oda.jar

I don't know which are necessary:
