[BIRT2.2RC0 Deployment] BEA Weblogic 8.1.x [message #243091]

Hi there,

i experienced birt during the last three month, there were a lot of downs
and also a few highlights ;)
finally my framework works quite allright on a tomcat and also on a sun
appserver...
but today after the presentation my boss decided TO CHANGE TO A BEA
WEBLOGIC PLATFORM!

i went through the newsgroups and found some known bugs using this
webserver.. and after a lot of trying a finally got my framework deployed
without getting any exceptions.

i figured out, that the following jar

org.eclipse.equinox.registry_3.3.0.v20070416.jar

causes the java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.

so now my questions:
1. are there any experiences in working with birt2.2rc0 on a weblogic?
2. will this bug be fixed in the 2.2 release?
or:
is there no light at the end of the tunnel and so i have to persuade my
boss to use a tomcat?

greetings,
chris from munich

Chris,

Can you post the stacktrace? Also have you tried this with RC2 or 3?
Please log a bugzilla entry as well.

BTW, I would be interested in understanding where you found pain points
in using BIRT. We are beginning post 2.2 planning and anything we can
do to make the BIRT experience more pleasant is worth considering.

Thanks

Jason

Hi Jason,

thx for the quick reply. I just tried rc2 ond rc3 and got the same
exception:
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------
[Deployer:149033]preparing application birtRC3 on myserver
[Deployer:149033]failed application birtRC3 on myserver
[Deployer:149034]An exception occurred for task [Deployer:149026]Deploy
application birtRC3 on myserver.:
Exception:weblogic.management.ApplicationException: prepare failed for
birt2
Module: birt2 Error: Could not load birt2:
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------
and after removing the

org.eclipse.equinox.registry_3.3.0.v20070522.jar

the error disappereared and the webviewerexample was succesfully deployed.
(birt still doesnŽt run on my weblogic, i guess there are some config
issues to solve...)

############################################################ #########

and well, there werenŽt that much "pain points" in using birt. i did hard
in getting familiar with this framework at the beginning (like it is with
any new stuff..), but after a time i found a lot of help googeling the net
and reading the newsgroup here.
there were some points on which i was stuck for a long time (mainly using
the RE):
- parameter disposal (parsing dateTime from any format to the only one
birt wants to see)
- exporting data (maybe some parameter like ...&__format=csv would be more
adequate)
- embedding reportViewer and parameterPage to a jsp-Site (the taglib is
great, but <iframe> ..?)

in summary i think birt is a great tool. using it you sure get across some
sharp edges, but after some practice you can handly it.
