How do debug AssertionError cannot be cast to Exception? [message #541802]

Birt loads up find but when we try to load a report we get the following error. How can we go about figuring out what we made wrong? Googling for something like this is sadly not so easy and my attempts has not come up with anything.

org.apache.axis.AxisFault: ; nested exception is:

Does this happen with all reports? How are you running them?

Yes our project (Bioclipse) have at least two features with plugins that use Birt for generating reports and we get the same error message in both cases. As for the question of how they are run I guess the best I can do is point at this code which is one example of how one report is run:

< http://github.com/jonalv/bioclipse.brunn/blob/master/plugins /net.bioclipse.brunn.ui/src/net/bioclipse/brunn/ui/editors/m asterPlateEditor/MasterPlateReport.java#L224-234>

Sadly I did not write this code. It used to work earlier when we had Birt installed locally in Eclipse, now we have them in a separate target.platform and somewhere in this move this problem turned up. It's very difficult to know how to debug something like this though...

Do you have any suggestions?

Do you get the error on all reports? Have you tried using the sample db
as a test?

Jason,

I have just completed building the birt_web application from the 2.5.2 release source using the following directions. ( http://wiki.eclipse.org/BIRT/FAQ/Birt_Project#Q:_How_do_I_ex port_the_2.5_BIRT_web_viewer.3F)

When trying to run the included sample reports, test.rptdesign and test1.rptdesign, I too get the java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.AssertionError cannot be cast to java.lang.Exception error.

What is missing?

Don,

Can you post the complete stacktrace?

The error does not produce a stacktrace, or at least the one that is produced for my is is blank.

It appears that the 2.5.2 version of the web viewer does not run when the -enableassertations flag is set. Setting the -disableassertations flag seems to ensure that the reports run with out the class cast exception for the assertation error.

This is also reproducable using the WebViewerExample app in the birt-runtime-2-5-2.zip file.
