Hi,
I'm using the Eclipse V3.3.0 and BIRT Report Designer V2.2.0 to implement
a ScriptedDataSet and a DataSetEventHandler which will use our existing
framework for persistence and business logic to fetch data. The problem is
that I keep getting ClassNotFoundException and NoClassDefFoundExceptions
when trying to preview the report. I'm 99% sure that the classnames are
correct and that they exist in the default output folder for my eclipse
project.
After searching this newsgroup and on the internet in general, it seems
that there are two methods which are supposed to help fix this, none which
solves my problem 100%:
1. Add the classes to
plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_x.x.x\birt\WEB-INF\cl asses
2. Set the EngineConstants.APPCONTEXT_CLASSLOADER_KEY context property
The first approach fails with a NoClassDefFoundException as my
ScriptedDataSource tries to use our existing framework which seems to not
be accessible from the report viewer. The second one I guess mostly
relates to people integrating the report viewer, don't know if this can be
set in any property files or similar?
Is it possible to make the report-viewer plugin load classes from the
default output folder and jars in the build path in eclipse?

Thanks for the answer, that helped us a lot figuring out which options we
have. As we need to load both the ScriptedDataSource classes and the
depending framework in both the report designer (at design-time) and the
webapp (runtime), we will probably publish a few webservices which can be
used by the report-designer and engine. Do you have any experiences with
this approach?
Do you know if there are any plans to improve the classloading features in
the next version?
Best regards,
Cato
