Hi, my application is J2EE web application based on struts/spring and hibernate. I am using BIRT Report Viewer for the reporting needs as it has very cool features embedded. I am able to successfully integrate the BIRT VIEWER 2.6.2 to my application and the report I created showing up fine and recently migrated to 3.7.0 runtime.
I am facing an environment setup issue (I didn't face this issue with 2.6.2)-
I use tomcat 6.0.20 and I deploy 2 applications (applications have different context root, the source code in both applications same, just some environment settings diffrent like directories of log files creation, etc) on that server. Both applications use Birt Viewer, Birt Viewer working in only from one application but not from other application. When I issue below url -
http://<server>:8080/<Appcontextroot>/frameset?__report=report/userCert.rptdesign&__overwrite=true&runTime=true&__parameterpage=true
the birt viewer is invoking in another winodw, but it is redirecting back to my application login page...
http://<server>:8080/<Appcontextroot>/Login.do
What could be the reason for that? I really appreciate any input on this.
Thank you,
Jyothi

Are you getting anything in the logs? Set the log level to FINE.

Does the process that is running the viewer have write permission to the
documents folder. If you look at your working system you can see the
next thing that happens is a write to:
/apps/tomcat/webapps/etrantest/documents/
Is anything being created in the documents folder on the non working system?

Jason, I checked the permissions on documents folder for both applications, both have same permissions as below (I am running applications in Linux environment)... I even set the 777 on documents folder on non-working appliation, still the same issue. One more wired thing is, it is working randomly sometimes for non-working application as well. So, I am lost here, why sometimes (very randomly)birtviewer coming up fine and why it is redirecting back to loging page mostly??? What settings I have to check??
drwxr-x--x 2 etrnos etrnos 1024 Sep 13 14:54 documents
and also, I am interested to know whether BirtViewer is shared between applications, if they are deployed in same tomcat server??
Thanks again for your help on this...

Are you using JNDI on these reports? Also set your log level to FINEST
and post the results again.

On the ist machine can you try to use /preview instead of /frameset?

The AJAX code uses a web service. I wonder if this is causing the
issue. BTW you can also try the /run mapping which I assume will fail
as well because it uses AJAX.

The AJAX code uses those same servlets as well as SOAP request calling
GetUpdatedObjects SOAP Method. I am not exactly sure how you would open
this up. It is on the same port. Any chance you can open a bugzilla
entry for this?
