I am using the birt-report-designer-all-in-one-2_2_0.

I create a java class, jar'd it, placed the jar file in this directory
C:\birt-report-designer-all-in-one-2_2_0\eclipse\plugins\org .eclipse.birt.report.viewer_2.2.0.v20070620\birt\WEB-INF\lib

then I added this script to the 'initialize' handler on the report
importPackage(Packages.nell);
MyLogger.log("Hello world.");

I dont get any error messages when I preview the report, but I also dont
know where to find the output.
I thought it might be in the lastest log where some of my earlier javascript
errors where showing up....
( tail -f -n1
" C:\birt-workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report .viewer\logs\ReportEngine_2007_10_24_17_58_44.log "
)
but not there either.

any help?

thanks
Steve

for reference... this is my java class

package nell;
public class MyLogger
{
public static void log(String comment)
{ System.out.println(comment);
}

}

well... I am still wondering if it is possible to capture output messages to
some type of console w/in the report designer...
but for any other newbies out there -- I added the following script to the
report initialize handler.. now I can see output in c:/birt.log

importPackage(Packages.java.util.logging);
var fileHandler = new FileHandler("c:/birt.log", true);
var rootLogger = Logger.getLogger("");
rootLogger.addHandler(fileHandler);

function log ( str )
{ Logger.getAnonymousLogger().info(str);
}
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("log", log);

log('zzz');

Steve,

I normally do exactly what you did. Not really pretty, but it works.
