Hi,
Iam using BIRT version : 2.2.1 , along with my ILOG rule studio 6.7.3. Iam trying to create a BIRT scripted datasource, the java script in my dataset is trying to acces the java classes. I have done the following steps to achive it :

1) Have placed my compiled java classes under: JRules673\studio\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.vie wer_2.2.1.r22x_v20070920\birt\WEB-INF\classes\
2) Have created a Dataset in my report which uses a scripted Datasource. The open scrip of the data set looks likes this :

count = 0;
// Create instance of
// the GetStockHistory class
gsh = new Packages.StockDaoMock(); 
//Load the List
stock = gsh.getStockValues("Java");

The java script in my fetch method looks like this :

if(count < stock.size()){
       row["columnDate"] = stock.get(count).getDate();
       row["columnOpen"] = stock.get(count).getOpen();
       row["columnHigh"] = stock.get(count).getHigh();
       row["columnLow"] = stock.get(count).getLow();
       row["columnClose"] = stock.get(count).getClose();
       row["columnVolume"] = stock.get(count).getVolume();
       count++;
       return true;
}

return false;

When I try to previe my results on the data set , I get the following error :

[B]
A BIRT exception occured : Error evaluating javascript expression. Script Engine error : TypeError:[JavaPackage StockDaoMock] is not a function.[/B]

My understanding is eclipse report in the design time is not able to find the java classes which the scrip is using. Following some suggestion on the forum I also tried to put a jar containing my compiled classes at the following location : \studio\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_2.2.1 .r22x_v20070920\birt\scriptlib
But the script was not able to pick the classes. It still came back with the same exception.

TypeError:[JavaPackage]is not a funtion

. What am I missing? Iam using BIRT 2.2.1 with ILOG rule studio 6.7.3. Struggling with this for a long time now , so any help/hints is highly appreciated.

I think this was an issue in version 2.2.1. While previewing the
dataset the call will fail, but if you drag the dataset onto the canvas
and preview the report it should work.

You can try putting your classes in a Package and then jar it.
Then put the jar in the scriptlib folder of the plugin.
Change your code to something like:

importPackage( Packages.my.test.obj );

gsh = new StockDaoMock();

This will still only work in preview of the report not the datset.
If you create a java project in the workspace with the classes then it
will work for preview. These issues have been fixed in the last couple
versions of BIRT.

Hi Jason,
I was able to get my report running by placing my jar files in the scriptlib folder as you asked me to. However is there a more elegant solution for BIRT report plugin to look up my java classes. I will bebundling the solution inot an RCP app , In my case I want BIRT viewer to have acces to my whole persistance stack, which include a whole bunch of jars. One thing I tried to do is add

Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered

to the manifest file of my BIRT report viewer, and then added the following to the Manifest file of the plugin which has my java classes

Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer.ViewerPlugin

I assumed that this will allow BIRT report to actually have access to my java class , but it did not work. Please advise me as to how to set my classloader on the BIRT report viewer.Your help is highly appreciated.
