The good news: I'm getting consistent behavior between the BIRT designer
in the IDE and the BIRT runtime in my application.
What I'm stuck on now:
Background: I got BIRT through the Callisto update site.
I've used JDBC to produce a simple BIRT report off of one table. In the
BIRT designer, if I click the "preview" tab (equivalent to calling /run,
I think), everything works. Similarly, if I choose "view report as
HTML" on the toolbar, this works.
However, choosing "View Report in Web Viewer" on the tool bar results in
my report running, but no data appearing. I see my title table, the
header band, and the date/time the report was run in the footer, but no
data in between.
Also, choosing "View Report as PDF" on the tool bar results in the
following error message in the popup browser window:
org.eclipse.birt.report.service.api.ReportServiceException: Report
engine fails to create extension to handle this request.
I get exactly the same behavior in my application. Hopefully, if I can
get BIRT to run properly in the IDE, I can get it to run properly in my
application. :-)

Dave Orme

One additional data point:
Clicking the "Export Data" button in the frameset version successfully
exports the correct data. :-?

Is there any chance you could try the allinone download? Also can you
log a bug with this issue. This appears to be happening with some users
that use the update manager.

I tried the allinone download: same result. Actually, I tried two
permutations:
1) allinone + all my other usual plugins
2) Just the allinone download with no other plugins installed
Unfortunately, neither the web viewer nor the PDF output are working for me.
More data:
My report is a simple Chart of Accounts report--it just lists the
accounts in the accounts table, grouping by account type first, then by
parent_ID second. The SQL query is the following:
SELECT
GL_ACCOUNT_TYPE,
if(trim(GL_ACCOUNT_PARENT_ID)='',null,GL_ACCOUNT_PARENT_ID),
GL_ACCOUNT_ID,
GL_ACCOUNT_CODE,
GL_ACCOUNT_NAME
FROM GL_ACCOUNT;
I just closed Eclipse and found the following warning on sysout:
Mar 27, 2007 11:08:09 AM org.apache.axis.utils.JavaUtils
isAttachmentSupported
WARNING: Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler
and javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). Attachment support is disabled.
I have no idea if this means anything...
Anything I can try?

The error you got is an expected error.
If you create a new report off the sample db just using a simpe table
does it work?

Yes, a basic grouped report from the sample data works, both using the
web viewer and as PDF.
So what did I do wrong? Or more to the point, what do I need to fix to
make the web viewer and PDF generator work for me?
Thanks,

Did the sample db report work in your setup or just using BIRT alone?
You could also download the TopNpercent report which contains a chart
and try it in your environment.
