What is necessary in order to deploy a report that contains a chart into
an app-server based runtime engine? I keep receiving various
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError exceptions. I've tried copying over
various EMF plugins into the plugins directory, but can't seem to get
things going. Is there a tutorial somewhere that describes what is
necessary in the plugins directory for this to work?
Thanks,

Deploy a report with a chart to an appServer is the same as deploy any other
reports. Chart engine is fully integrated in the BIRT report viewer. You
can use the report viewer as the start point for your webApp to integrate
with BIRT. BIRT report viewer itself is a webapp that is deployed to an
embedded tomcat engine in BIRT designer. You can find the BIRT viewer app
under plugin/org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_1.0.0/birt folder, which
contains all required BIRT runtime components.
For more info on BIRT integration, please refer to the following link:
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/index.php?page=deploy/viewer-dep loy.html
The design of BIRT report viewer serves two purposes:
1. preview the report design within the BIRT designer. At which the viewer
is deployed to an embedded tomcat engine.
2. provide a starting point for people to develop/integrate with BIRT. You
can just copy and deploy the BIRT viewer to appServer, and view your report
through browser, or simply copy the BIRT viewer into your web application.
One thing I would like to point out is, if you have added a BIRT extension,
for example, you have added a new ODA data source plugin, you also need to
copy this plugin into
plugin/org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_1.0.0/birt/WEB-INF/plu gin folder.
BIRT viewer uses the same plugin mechanism as Eclipse workbench does.
Hope this helps,

Craig,
Does this same report run using the built-in viewer for BIRT? What are
the exceptions? Do you have EMF 2.0.1 installed?
The BIRT chart library requires the following plug-ins to be included
for deployment:
1. org.eclipse.birt.core (core.jar)
2. org.eclipse.emf.common (common.jar, common.resources.jar)
3. org.eclipse.emf.ecore (ecore.jar, ecore.resources.jar)
4. org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi (ecore.xmi.jar)
