Reports are not rendered in Firefox 3? [message #363373] Thu, 19 June 2008 20:49 Go to next message

Hi BIRT people

I'm the developer of a portlet for browsing BIRT reports and recently I've
experienced that the reports in my showcase portal
(http://www.eobjects.dk/portal/) are not renderable in my browser (Firefox
3, ubuntu hardy version). I've tested the reports in IE and they work fine
(or with expected errors at least) there. Here's a really simple report,
which is shown correctly in IE, but just as a blank report in Firefox:

http://www.eobjects.dk/birt/frameset?__report=/opt/reports/F oobar.rptdesign

I've tried updating the birt runtime to the latest RC but no luck. I've
also tried searching bugzilla for a report on this, but found none?

Other than that - thanks for the best Open Source report engine around! :)

FYI, when I used the link you provided, the report rendered for me in
FF 3. I'm on Windows XP.

I got the following:
Foobar
This is a test of birt 2.3.

I've got the same problem. None of my BIRT 2.2 reports runs on FF3. I
get window saying "Version Mismatch" and empty skack trace.

Catalina.out doesn't log any errors

Same reports run on BIRT 2.3 render without problems

Yes I had the same "Version Mismatch" exception popping up - then I
upgraded to the latest RC of BIRT 2.3 and the exception was not shown, but
neither was the report rendered.

Kasper,

What version of BIRT are you using RC4?

Likewise, I was able to view the report in FF3 on a Mac (OS X Tiger).

OK now this is very weird. Suddenly the reports are rendered as they
should. I have no idea what sparked this since I did not change anything
on the server. The server restarted earlier today - maybe that caused
something?

Could have been a classpath conflict issue. This is common when the
system restarts and everything suddenly starts working. You may want
to look at your environment, web server, and project classpath. [BTW:
keeping the environment classpath empty helps avoid these problems.]

I've been having this kind of on-again/off-again problem with the BIRT
viewer in various Tomcat-based containers running on Linux, starting
when I upgraded to Ubuntu Hardy (although I didn't install Firefox 3
initially):

http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-20981.html

Sometimes it seems like a server problem; but right now I'm able to
view a certain report from the BIRT viewer hosted on JBoss using Safari
on Windows and not able to view it using Firefox 3 on Linux.

I had these same issues a while back. The solution is upgrade to BIRT
2.3 which adds full support for FF3.

Bug reports here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=232073
and here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=213980

Additionally, someone pactched Birt 2.2.2 for FF3 for those who need to
use BIRT 2.2:
