Cached report... [message #482543]

Good evening,

I have just updated to the latest release of BIRT and was quickly throwing
up a sample report based on an XML datasource and it seems that the report
viewer is using a cached or the first saved report.

The report works correctly when I preview it in Eclipse but when I try to
access it from the viewer I am getting the original template that I based
the report on.

I have read several threads regarding setting the cached repoprts and have
set both of the following:

<context-param>
<param-name>BIRT_OVERWRITE_DOCUMENT</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>

and the overwrite flag on the URL

/frameset?__report=usersReport.rptdesign&XMLSourceFile=C :\Temp\get_users_rpt-08-26-2009.xml&__overwrite=true& ;__sessionId=20090826_190350_702&__dpi=96

but to no avail.

I have cleaned my Tomcat directory and made sure the BIRT working folders
were empty but again to avail.

I have also searched my file system for a .rptdocument that may be hanging
out and there are none.

Please help.

Does it make any difference if you specify
__document=c:/temp/test.rptdocument in the url?

Nope unfortunately that did not help.

The funny thing is that it works from the IDE and I see all my changes.

When I run it from Tomcat I also see some of my changes (ie. changes in how
I process the XML file elements) but the table header itself is still based
upon the template I used.

I went into the XML view of the report and I can't see those labels (ie.
"Customer Listing") in the document at all so I have no idea WTF is going
on.

I deleted the header row in my table and recreated it and now I am getting
now header row at but again it seems to work in the IDE.

Please help

Do you mean templates or libraries?

Found it,

It was related to my I18N strings. I had replaced the original template
headers with my own values and specified an I18N string from the property
files but the original content was being maintiained in the tag, something
like this.

<text-property name="text"
key="reports.usersReport.title">Customer</text-property>

it seems that it was not finding my messages.properties file so it would use
the default

I had copied the original label from the template to the new columns that I
had added, so they all ended up with this default content in all my headers

When I deleted the header row and created a new row, I had to create new
labels as a header for each column and thus I did not specifiy a default
text label fir abt if them but went right to the localization tab and
specified the I18N key to the resources file, the resource is not being at
all and thus a completely empty header row.

Thanks for the assistance

Created a new report and used the "My First Report" template, which gave me
the nice Customer Listing table layout and replaced that with my own content
(adding / removing existing elements) to get my report
