Deploy BIRT Viewer 3.7.1 into Tomcat Server 7.0 [message #870731]

Hi,

I've deployed successfully BIRT Viewer 3.7.1 into a web application using Glassfish Server 3.1.2. I used the JSP taglib with a JSF 2.0 dynamic web project (v2.5).
Now I'm trying to switch from Glassfish to Tomcat 7.0 Server because I'm having many display problems with Glassfish but when I execute the web page containing the JSP taglib I get this error:

The requested resource (/birt/frameset) is not available.

I think the problem is related to the deployment of BIRT Viewer into Tomcat. I'm getting this error in this two cases:
- I copied the war file (birt.war) into the Tomcat's Webapps folder and I deployed it from the Tomcat manager.
- I tried also to copy the WebViewerExample folder into Tomcat's Webapps folder.

For the Glassfish deployment I deployed the war file from the manager and it worked without problem.
So How can I deploy successfully BIRT viewer into a Tomcat Server???

If you copy this folder :WebViewerExample to the tomcat webapps
directory it should work fine. Have you tried to directly access it
instead of using the tag lib as a test?

Yes I tried direct access and it worked fine. Can you give me other suggestions.

If that worked fine then BIRT is deployed correctly. Add the attached
report design and jsp file to the birt viewer top directory and then
access the jsp like:

http://localhost:8080/viewer/ViewerTag.jsp

Thank you Jason for this solution, I tested and it has worked. But this is not exactly what I want because in my JSP page I have many other elements in addition to the viewer tag like JSF tags and some managed beans and I think this kind of solution will make my project more complicated. What I need exactly is to deploy Tomcat the same way I deployed GlassFish and I saw in many forums that this worked for many people but till now I don't understand why this is not working for me.

Can you give some details on how you have it deployed on Glassfish?

First I run GlassFish server and I opened the administration console from browser (IE) using this address localhost:4848/common/index.jsf
I selected the Application tab at the left and I clicked on the deploy button, then I selected browse button and I set the location of my birt.war file. Finally I validated with ok button.

I tried to deploy Tomcat the same way as GlassFish:
I lunched the Tomcat server and I visited the manager console at localhost:8080/ manager/html
At the end of the page I clicked the browse button and I set the war file's path and I get the message application successfully deployed

What I'm I messing here???

Hi Claude,

I tried to use birt reports with jsf4birt, it works fine with tomcat server.

Download demo app from

exadel.org/system/files/private/jsf4birt/builds/release/exadel-jsf4birt-demo.war

Please refer to the last post of www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/334010/.

Are you using the default birt.war or do you have a modified one?

If you look at the runtime download the WebViewerExample directory is
the exploded version of the birt.war. You could try to re-war it and
deploy it. There is a web.xml in the web-inf directory of this app.

I just tried deploying to 7.0.27 with the manager url and it worked for me.
