I have created a javascript for logging. The name of the file is logging.js. Here is the code
========================================
var logFile="F:/logFile.txt";
var loggingEnabled=true;
var printWriter;
function createLogger(method,message)
{
if (loggingEnabled && printWriter == null)
{
importPackage( Packages.java.io );
fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream( logFile, true );
printWriter = new java.io.PrintWriter( fos );
}
if(loggingEnabled && printWriter != null)
{
logMessage(method,message);
}
}
function logMessage(method,message)
{

if (loggingEnabled && printWriter != null)
{
printWriter.println(method + ":" + message);
}
}
function closeLogger(method,message)
{
if (loggingEnabled && printWriter != null)
{
logMessage(method,message);
printWriter.close();
}
}
===================================================
I have added this script under Resources (javascript files) section of the report. When i use these js functions in my report and run it under eclipse or report designer, no problems

But when I copy the script and the report to birt viewer, it gives me error

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Wrapped org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.CoreException: There are errors evaluating script "createLogger":
ReferenceError: "createLogger" is not defined. (<inline>#1) (/report/method[@name="initialize"]#2) (Element ID:1)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I copied the script under tomcat birt folder and also copied it under webcontent folder. Not sure why it does not work under viewer. Any help would be appreciated

thanks

Take a look at this post:
http://birtworld.blogspot.com/2012/07/using-global-js-function-across-birt.html

Add the js file to the report and put the js file in the resource folder.

Hello Jason,

in Birt viewer web.xml the resource folder is configured like this
<!-- Resource location directory. Defaults to ${birt home} -->
<context-param>
<param-name>BIRT_RESOURCE_PATH</param-name>
<param-value></param-value>
</context-param>

Which basically is the default. I placed the script in this location which is
....../webapps/birt. This is where I have also placed my reports. I have also added the reference to the external js in my report, but problem still persists

any help

Can you post the report? Did you set a resource folder in your designer. I am wondering if the full path to the js file is in the report. It should not be. Try creating a resource folder in your project, something like resources and set this as the resource folder in your designer preferences. See the blog reference I posted earlier to see how to do this. Put the js file in the resource folder and add it to the report. Next create a folder in the webviewer named something like resources, and put the js file in this folder. Set the BIRT_RESOURCE_PATH to the value resources and try the deployed report.
