please I'm really stuck on this one and I need to solve it to move on with the project cause I have a deadline to respect and I really did all I could to solve it.
I instaled the plugin, I added jars, the jsf4birt demo works just fine, but the report in the project doesn't work.I have a list in my bean that I wanna export as a report,
here is the code in my page:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
xmlns:b="http://jboss.com/products/seam/birt"
xmlns:jsf4birt="http://jsf4birt.components">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<rich:panel>
<f:facet name="header">
Raport Transactions
</f:facet>
<jsf4birt:birtWrapper reportName="/Reports/new_report.rptdesign">
<f:param name="Text" value="#{ValeursMBean.selection}" />
</jsf4birt:birtWrapper>
</rich:panel>
</body>
</html>

selection is the List to be be exported.

the Open method in the report is :
count=0;

myDataSource = new Packages.cdvm.surv.web.ValeursMBean();

values = myDataSource.getSelection();

the fetch method is :

if(count>values.size()){
return(false);
}
row["test"] = values.get(count);

count+=1;
return(true);

this is a simple test instead of the real things I wanna get, i'm working with this one first to make things easier to control.
i'll be really thankful for any kind of help .

Can you add something like the following to your open method:

importPackage( Packages.java.io );
out = new PrintWriter( new FileWriter( "c:/temp/myrowcount.txt", true ) );
out.println( "values size is "+ values.size());
out.close();

and check that you are getting data.

Hi jason
I did that but still nth changes,
importPackage( Packages.java.io );
importPackage( Packages.cdvm.surv.web);
count=0;

myDataSource = new ValeursMBean();

values = myDataSource.getSelection();

out = new PrintWriter( new FileWriter( "/home/zairi/Bureau/myrowcount.txt", true ) );
out.println( "values size is "+ values.size());
out.close();

but I don't see the txt file in " Bureau"

by the way I read about coding some classes of Birt Engine and Design, should I code them even if I'm working with jsf4birt and the graphic tool of Birt ?
because all I did is that I made the report ,but dataset cannot get any data from my bean which is the problem, and I call it within the jsp file.
is there something I should add to that?
PS: I still have the same error.

thank you

What version of BIRT are you using and where is this package located:
cdvm.surv.web

i added an image of the hierarchy of my JSFproject:
the package cdvm.surv.web is in the src of my JSF project.

Can you set the log level to FINE and see if you are getting anything in
the logs. My guess is that class in your open script is not being
found. Put something like this in the before factory to see if anything
is getting written out.
out = new PrintWriter( new FileWriter(
"/home/zairi/Bureau/myrowcount.txt", true ) );
out.println( "Some message");
out.close();

When deployed where is the source for the cdvm.surv.web package/

You may want to try the 3.7 runtime which does not have the
web-inf/platform directory and all the jars are in the web-inf/lib.

In your list I did not see the jsf4birt lib. Is it in there?
Does this page work for any report or is it just failing on on scripted
datasource?

I've already added the jsf4birt jars
i added my Bean to the exadel-jsf4birt-demo src, and my report to its "Reports" file, and the dataset gets the list from the Bean, still it gaves some errors though, but at least this is a part of the problem resolved, I have to raplace the file "Reports" of my JSFproject and see what that will come up with.

thank you Jason

it seems that the report's script cannot be compiled even if I have the js jar in my lib.
