Hello,

Does anybody know how a .jar file (for exemple a jdbc driver) could be added to the project?

I will give an exemple.
I want to use jdbc driver that is .jar file. I can add it while creating a new Data Source. But the problem is that the path will be fixed (C:\Users\UserName\...\driver.jar). If I open this project on the other computer the path is wrong.
I want to add a jar file to the project so, that the path will be "internal"(ProjectName\lib\driver.jar). So on any computer the file will be found.

It seams that for Java projects in Eclipse one can add any jar file in the BuildPath so this jar will be inside the project and it can be used on any computer.

I've tested several variants:

1) Window >> Preferences >> Report Design >> Class Path
there I've added my driver. But I haven't understood how can I use this library

2) Choose the report, in the Property Editor choose Resources, add file there. The same: haven't understood how can I use this library

3) Select Project >> Properties >> Class Path, there I've added my driver

4) Simple add a jar file to the project folder also gives nothing Razz

Project->properties->Java Build Path->Add jars.now,.jar files will appear in your libraries.

Thank you for your response.
But there is no Java Build Path in the menu. There is Class Path, but when I add an external Jar it changes nothing.

Hello,
I have the same probem. The jdbc jar path in production is obviously different from the jar path inside editor.
Have you a solution? I still do not understand how it is possible that a so common problem has no clear solution in birt.

Thanks,
Mario

You need to put jdbc jar into birt plugin folder plugins/org.eclpise.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_xxx\drivers, the all jdbc drivers in that folder can be access when creating jdbc data source.

You could also switch to the non-OSGI BIRT runtime (just a bunch of JARs). Then just add your driver.jar to the class path.

I have followed "official" instructions to install a birt dir inside Tomcat. There I have no "drivers" folder but WEB-INF/lib folder so I assume I have NON-osgi version.


Anyway the problem is the same: in eclipse birt editor I must specify a mysql jdbc jar using full path and this path is not correct when deployed on Tomcat.

What is the solution? I hope I can avoid to put the jdbc jar path and let birt find the jdbc driver jar in standard classpath.

Thanks again,
Mario
