i have a web application. with that web application i call BIRT Report which BIRT in running under tomcat server. i found that Viewer create temporary report in
"TomcatInstall\webapps\BIRT-Viewer\documents\".
How do i delete this temporary file when report is finished created so i won't make the space in the harddisk full?

i already use parameter __clean and __overwrite, but nothing is changed.
the url "http://localhost:8080/birt-viewer/frameset?__report=test.rptdesign&__clean=true" or
"http://localhost:8080/birt-viewer/frameset?__report=test.rptdesign&__overwrite=true"

I use :
- Eclipse Helios 2.6.1 (i made BIRT report in here)
- Tomcat 6
- BIRT Runtime 3.7

Thanks

This should happen automatically when the session expires or the viewer
is restarted.

we created a java timer task to do this. You can configure the time

Thanks

Hi Sam,
can u tell me how to create java timer task?
i googling, and have example like below :
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

public class ReminderBeep {
Toolkit toolkit;

Timer timer;

public ReminderBeep(int seconds) {
toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new RemindTask(), seconds * 1000);
}

class RemindTask extends TimerTask {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Time's up!");
toolkit.beep();
//timer.cancel(); //Not necessary because we call System.exit
System.exit(0); //Stops the AWT thread (and everything else)
}
}

public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("About to schedule task.");
new ReminderBeep(5);
System.out.println("Task scheduled.");
}
}

is the example above is java timer?
sorry, i'm new in java

Replace the following code

System.out.println("Time's up!");
toolkit.beep();
//timer.cancel();
System.exit(0);

with your code. Your code needs to scan thru the temporary directory (where the documents are created - Web Viewer setting) and delete them.

Thanks
