Problem accessing POJO in birt Scripts [message #366629] Thu, 15 January 2009 16:00 Go to next message

Hi there,

I have used the Report Engine API Example to try and create a small
report using the command line. To do this I used a scripted data source
with the following open script:

favoritesClass = new Packages.simple.SimpleClass();
favorites = favoritesClass.readData();
totalrows = favorites.size();
currentrow = 0;


This works perfectly well. However for another project I need to access
an already existing object and am unable to simply create a new one.
Following the hints outlined in the Report Engine API document, I tried
adding my class to the report tasks application context:

//Set parent classloader for engine
task.getAppContext().put(EngineConstants.APPCONTEXT_CLASSLOA DER_KEY,
SimpleClass.class.getClassLoader());
//Add my existing class to the context:
task.getAppContext().put("SimpleClass", existingSimpleClass);

My open script then looked like this:

importPackage(Packages.simple);
favoritesClass = SimpleClass;
favorites = favoritesClass.readData();
totalrows = favorites.size();
currentrow = 0;

Now whenever I try and run the project I get the following error:

Caused by: org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.CoreException: There are
errors evaluating script "__bm_OPEN()":
Java class "simple.SimpleClass" has no public instance field or method
named "readData". (<inline>#4).
at org.eclipse.birt.core.script.ScriptContext.eval(ScriptContex t.java:300)
at org.eclipse.birt.core.script.ScriptContext.eval(ScriptContex t.java:261)
at
org.eclipse.birt.data.engine.script.ScriptEvalUtil.evaluateJ SAsExpr(ScriptEvalUtil.java:713)
... 25 more

However, this is the very same class that I used before, only now I try
to use an existing object rather than creating a new one. Therefore it
will have the exact same methods.

What am I doing wrong? How do I access existing POJOs in a report? How
do I use the app context? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards

Jan Baumann

Jan,

can you try to set the class loader on the EngineConfig instead of the task.

You should be able to add the object to the task, but if that does not
work try to add it to config as well.

config.getAppContext().put(EngineConstants.APPCONTEXT_CLASSL OADER_KEY,
SimpleClass.class.getClassLoader());

Thanks Jason, adding the classloader as well as the object to the
configuration did solve the problem. Strange though, that the tasks
appConfig doesn't seem to be evaluated inside BIRT - at least in some
cases.

Cheers

Jan,

I believe we changed this in the 2.3 build. You can no longer change
the class loader in the task, only in the engine config.
