Reloading of classes for scripted data sources [message #86453]

Hello,

I'm using BIRT 1.0.1.

When I change the code of the java class and then update the class file in
org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_1.0.1\birt\WEB-INF\classes, how can I force
a reload of that class?

Or do I always have to restart Eclipse?

Is there a different way to specify this class which will automatically be
reloaded when I change it?

Regards,

Hello,

Since there is no answer to this one, I guess that's not possible? Is
there already a enhancement request filed for this?

Thanks.

Has scripting environment got access to the local object? [message #86849 is a reply to message #86773]

Hi
I need to localize some columns in my table. At the moment
I'm handing a parameter to the report and use code like this
in the data element:

if (params["lang"] == "de")
{
row["column_de"]
}

if (params["lang"] == "fr")
{
row["column_fr"]
}

Now I had the idea that I don't really need to use a parameter since
the local object has got a method "getLanguage()" which would return
the proper value.
Can this be done?

Cheers, michael

I asked this question the other day. I got pretty much the same response so
I decided to look into it a little (I know they are busy :) ).

I couldn't figure out (real quick) how the viewer was working. It looks
like some sort of web app, but I couldn't see a app server.

The other option is to use Tomcat to preview your reports. That way you can
set the flag to auto reload your jars/classes. BIRT (the plugin piece) can
be setup to use a server to preview the reports. I have not tried it yet,
so I don't know how integrated it is.

Try:

var locale = Packages.java.util.Locale.getDefault();

Hi,
tried it but the result isn't what I expected. getDefault().getLanguage() always
returns the same language and ignorse the language that I tell birt to use. According
to the javadoc this is by design.
I need access to the local that birt uses. Any more ideas?

Greets, michael
