Hi,

I am migrating from BIRT 2.6.1 to BIRT 3.7.1
I have removed old jar files from my lib directory (js.jar, commons-cli-1.0.jar and engineapi.jar)
and copied org.eclipse.birt.runtime_3.7.1.v20110913-1734.jar to the lib directory.
Other jar files were kept in CLASSPATH in Weblogic 10 server while starting up (startWebLogic.cmd) as below.

set BIRTENGINE=C:/birt-runtime-3_7_1/ReportEngine/lib
set BIRT_CLASSPATH=%BIRT_CLASSPATH%;%BIRTENGINE%\com.ibm.icu_4.4.2.v20110208.jar;%BIRTENGINE%\org.apache.commons.codec_1.3.0.v201101211617.jar;%BIRTENGINE%\*.jar;

set CLASSPATH=.;%CLASSPATH%;%BIRT_CLASSPATH%;

I have a BIRT utilities Java file which creates the report engine.
The code is as follows.

// Configure the BIRT Engine and start the BIRT Platform
EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig();

try {
Platform.startup(config);
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform
.createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY);
engine = factory.createReportEngine(config);
} catch (Exception exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
throw new WrapperedException("ERROR during report engine start up", exception);
}

Platform.startup(config) is throwing the following exception always.

erroneous handlers

java.lang.InternalError: erroneous handlers
at org.eclipse.birt.core.framework.Platform.startup(Platform.java:75)

Please kindly let me know what changes I should make to make this work.

Thanks,
Sravan

Did you remove all the jars that were in the 2.6.1 reportengine/lib
directory from your classpath. BTW if this is a on a windows machine
this might be creating a classpath string that is to long. To test this
create a directory off of the c drive like c:/birtlib and move all the
jars from C:/birt-runtime-3_7_1/ReportEngine/lib to this new directory.
Then change your BIRTENGINE variable.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your response. I have removed all the 2.6.1 jars and then I have added 3.7.1 jars in my application lib directory, I was getting the error "The input line is too long." like you have mentioned, on Windows XP.

But when I was referring the jars from C:/birt-runtime-3_7_1/ReportEngine/lib directory I was not getting this error but I was getting the error I have specified in my first post.

So please clarify me how it is going to help me if I copy the jars to some external directory like c:/birtlib, is it just reducing the length of the path or even the BIRT engine interpretation of the jars as it was outside the BIRT_HOME (though I did not set it now) because my application has lot many other jars in its classpath.

Thanks,
Sravan

Is this a web app that you are calling the report engine from or a
command line app?
