org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.BirtException: Cant startup the OSGI framework [message #793677]

Hi,

I am getting a weird issue when starting BIRT in a JBOSS appserver. It fails with this error :

org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.BirtException: Cant startup the OSGI framework

only if I start the appserver from a shell script that calls 'run.sh -b 0.0.0.0 -c $APPDIR' as the jboss user. If I start the appserver on the command line using 'run.sh -b 0.0.0.0 -c $APPDIR' then BIRT works fine and I dont get the OSGI startup error. I have tried to exec, bash -c, nohup, disown, ksh -x, #!/bin/bash (at top) but all create the OSGI error ... except if I create a shell script shell out from that script and run the 'run.sh' command that works. Its the same user 'jboss' running both scripts so doent seem to be access related. I have compared the appserver output from both startups and no differences.

We are using 'birt-runtime-2_2.1' and plugins 2.6.2 and JBOSS 5.0.0 on Redhat Linux 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5

Any help or pointers would be appreciated

Cheers !

Are you using 2.2.1 or 2.6.2? Look at the
WEB-INF/platform/configuration directory. Does anything get written to it?

Hi,

I managed to work out a solution for this if anyone has the same issue. The fix to run this through a script without getting the OSGI error is to first 'cd' to the appserver bin directory then run the start script to start the JBOSS appserver i.e. from a menu script call the appserver startup like this :

cd $APPSERVER/bin
./start

the start script would have 'run.sh -b 0.0.0.0 -c $APPSERVER' in it or something similar. Running it this way doesnt generate the OSGI Framework error ... dont know why but I assume its subshell related.

Cheers !
