Problem with classpaht and event handlers [message #197250]

I am trying to modify a chart on the fly by using a
ChartEventHandlerAdapter. I want to set the Title based on a value set in
the ReportContext. The handler fires ok and What I want to get is the
reportContext.

Here is the code snippet.

public void beforeRendering(GeneratedChartState arg0, IChartScriptContext
chartScriptContext) {
IExternalContext externalContext =
chartScriptContext.getExternalContext();
Object obj = externalContext.getObject();
IReportContext reportContext = (IReportContext) obj;

The problem is that 'obj' is of type
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.script.internal.ReportContext Impl and this
implements the interface IReportContext. (I checked the code) However I
cannot cast this to the interface IReportContext because the classloader
for 'obj' is
org.eclipse.osgi.internal.baseadaptor.DefaultClassLoader@24de33
and the class loader for the class running the method is
java.net.URLClassLoader@11c0f3b. So I get a ClassCastException. Does
anyone have a solution as to how to get around this. It seems that the
plugins do not play nicely with the jars and if this cannot be resolved
then this will be a marginal use package.

I have encountered this problem when running a report using WebLogic as
the app server also when just trying to debug using Eclipse and no app
server.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank in advance.

Try taking all the libs out of WEB-INF/platform/lib and putting them in
WEB-INF/lib -- the birt runtime should grab the interfaces from the
parent classloader (ie, the webapp's) when it cannot find them on its own.

This does not work because the it does not solve the problem of the osgi
loader running the plugins accessing objects that are only known to the
app.

I guess a better question would be can birt be added to a Web App as a
library and not as a plugin?
