Hi
I created report project in Eclipse Birt with some reports (Version: 4.3.0., Windows 7)
The data source is an Oracle database . In the WEB viewer, the reports display with data ok.
Runtime for Birt is Tomcat server 7, Oracle DB is the same.
I copied ojdbc14.jar (with its directory) from pc to the directory:
/home/apache-tomcat-7.0.42/webapps/BIRT-Viewer/WEB-INF/lib/org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_4.3.0.v201306041519/drivers,
I installed BIRT viewer, sample report displays ok,
But my reports do not display for error:
Cannot open the connection for the driver: org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.
org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.JDBCException: There is an error in get connection, ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I am a newbie in Birt, please help.

This jar file should be put just under WEB-INF/lib folder: the subfolder you mentionned is OK with Eclipse designer, but not with a Tomcat server.

Furthermore with Tomcat it is highly recommended to use a "Connection Pool" rather than a direct JDBC access. If you setup a such pool, you won't have to deal with Oracle logins / passwords of the server in birt reports, among other huge benefits.

There are a couple of Google links describing how to do this in Tomcat , please be more specific about which problems you encounter. By the way you should download and install PSI probe in Tomcat, this is useful beyond measure to test connections pools and diagnose issues.
