DEAPI Requirements? [message #201849]

Hi there!

I'm trying to run the example in
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/DeDemo.java but, althoght I have
imported all the jars from the birt-rcp-report-designer-2_1_1 plugins
folder, I get the following error:

20-nov-2006 10:43:32 org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api.DesignEngine <init>

INFO: Error occurs while start the platform

org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.BirtException: $NO-RB$ Cant startup the OSGI
framework

at org.eclipse.birt.core.framework.Platform.startup(Platform.ja va:90)

at
org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api.DesignEngine.<init>(DesignEngine.java:71)

at
org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api.DesignEngine.newSession(De signEngine.java:128)

....

Caused by: org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.BirtException: $NO-RB$ Could not
find the Framework - [Ljava.lang.Object;@17ce4e7

at
org.eclipse.birt.core.framework.osgi.OSGILauncher.startup(OS GILauncher.java:88)

at org.eclipse.birt.core.framework.Platform.startup(Platform.ja va:78)

.... 41 more

So now I'm wondering... Which are the requirements to use the Design Engine
API? Do I need to surround it on an RCP project or can I use it directly
from a java application? And if I can... what's wrong with the example?

Than you.

The DEAPI is not finding the BIRT Plugins.
Take a look at this example:

BTW if you are including the BIRT plugins in your RCP application you should
be able to get it to work without doing the manual Platform startup.
Do not set BIRT_HOME and use the following code. There is an example in the
wiki that shows how to do this with the Report Engine, which has a similar
startup to the Design Engine.
IDesignEngineFactory factory = (IDesignEngineFactory) Platform

..createFactoryObject(
IDesignEngineFactory.EXTENSION_DESIGN_ENGINE_FACTORY );

engine = factory.createDesignEngine( config );

}catch( Exception ex){

ex.printStackTrace();

}

SessionHandle session = engine.newSessionHandle( ULocale.ENGLISH ) ;

// Create a new report design.

ReportDesignHandle design = session.createDesign( );
