Hi!

I'm facing a very strange issue while running the birt-viewer application in Tomcat 6/7 on Ubuntu 10.04 (AMD 64bit).

Rendering the very basic sample report (test.rptdesign) takes around 2 minutes, when I use the "frameset" URL:

/frameset?__report=test.rptdesign

It's very fast (< 1sec) rendering the same report with the "run" URL:

/frameset?__report=test.rptdesign

It seems, the problem is related to some component(s) in the frameset UI, but I don't see why. I tried Tomcat 6, Tomcat 7, several versions of the birt runtime,
different Java version (SUN, OpenJDK), but without any luck. It's always the same behaviour: the UI gets loaded up to a certain point, then it seems to hang. No
data is being transfered for up to 100 seconds and then suddenly the report appears. During this time, I can see no trace of activity (using top) on the Linux server.

I'm using birt since years and installed the birt-viewer in many different environments but never faced a similar issue. It's
driving me crazy!

Maybe someone here has some suggestion. Any ideas are welcome!

After you run it initially, if you run it again does it take a long
time? Can you check the web-inf/platform/configuration directory? After
running do you have files in this directory other than the config.ini?

I have these files in the configuration directory:

/usr/local/tomcat7/webapps/birt/WEB-INF/platform/configuration# ls -l
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  297 2010-02-22 16:37 config.ini
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-05-26 23:11 org.eclipse.core.runtime
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-05-26 23:10 org.eclipse.equinox.app
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2011-05-27 00:03 org.eclipse.osgi
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-05-27 00:03 org.eclipse.update

Loading takes a long time on every run, not just the first one.

After doing some testing, my best guess is, that this problem somehow relates to a network issue. Some component in the birt viewer might do a network operation (name resolution etc.), that blocks processing and finaly fails after a certain timeout. This could be due to some firewall restriction or even a missconfiguration on network level.

Does that make sense? Is there any component in the birt viewer frameset, that connects to the outside network when opening a report?

The viewer AJAX code used in the /frameset mapping uses web services to
connect back to the server, but it should not be connecting outside.
