Hi,
In our project we are using BIRT as the report generation tool.
We have to deploy the complete application as an .ear file to the
application server like OC4J or Weblogic.
So once you deployed ear, it may not get deployed into a file structure
and it may remain in the same ear file.
In the above scenario, how can I specify BIRT home.
In normal case, we are specifying as below.
config.setEngineHome("d:/ProgramFiles/birt/birt-runtime-2_2_0/ReportEngine ");
But if deployed as ear and not getting into file structure, what is the
alternative for specifying engine home?
Thanks and regards,
Shomy

Hi Jason,
I can't get a parameter like ServletContext in my BIRT class which is used
to generate reports. In my case our report engine classes are coming in
business layer.
Ours is JSF+EJB+Toplink link. The design team won't allow to pass the
ServletContext from the presentation layer to business layer.
In business layer I can use BIRT engine API classes and also java classes.
What is the work around to solve this issue?
The above mentioned case is a normal scenario which will happen in any
medium size projects.
Thanks and regards,
Shomy

If you are using the Report Engine API, use a PlatformServletContext Class.
config.setEngineHome("");
IPlatformContext context = new PlatformServletContext( sc );
config.setPlatformContext( context );

Shomy,
I do not know of a good work around in this case. The Platform requires
a hard location to startup the plugins. The PlatformServlet context
essentially copies the plugins to a temp directory on the servlet
startup and starts up the platform there. Maybe you can do something
similar. Checkout that class from CVS to get the details. You may also
want to log a bugzilla entry for this.
