Hi All,
I have installed and have been running the BIRT Report Viewer web

expected without problems. However, when I deploy the BIRT Viewer to my
WebSphere application server, reports that are run in pdf format display a
blank window in IE (no Adobe toolbar, nothing). If I change to display in
HTML format everything works fine. I have insured that the itext-1.3.jar
file is in the proper place in the birt.war file (I think). The same
deployment to the WebSphere app server with BIRT V2 Milestone2 worked fine
(pre itext pdf generation). I have project deadlines looming and am in
desperate need of help.
Any assistance on this is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!!

Use this to embed the PDF in your page, it should then be opened...
You can embed the pdf file as an object into your html page, so when
that page is loaded it will start to run Acrobat reader inside it, the
same way Windows Media player would run for a media file.
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000" WIDTH=800
HEIGHT=600> <PARAM NAME="SRC" VALUE="item3.PDF"> <EMBED
SRC="item3.PDF" HEIGHT=800 WIDTH=600> <NOEMBED> Your browser does not
support embedded PDF files. </NOEMBED> </EMBED></OBJECT>
(of course, you can change height and width, to 100% for example)

Unfortunately, the mime types on my server are correct, and I have no
control over the http headers that BIRT generates. Like I said, this
worked fine in the Milestone 2 release (pre itext-1.3.jar).
Also, I don't get a placeholder icon where the pdf should be displayed (as
is described on the microsoft site). I get absolutely nothing.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks.

Running reports with simple tables in html format work fine. Also,
previewing reports in my RAD v6.0.1 is working fine.

Srini,
I am using WSAD 5.1.1 and had the same problem with compatibility. What I
did to fix the problem was to create an empty web project called Birt
(also create an EAR project called BirtEAR). For the web project, right
click and choose properties, then select the web option on the properties
dialog. Here you need to set the J2EE level to 1.2 (it is probably
defaulted to 1.3). I then imported the birt.war file that comes in the
birt-runtime-2_0_0.zip file, and made the additions of jar files, js
files, etc. as noted on the Birt website. Then build the project and
deploy it to your WSAD test server. I get error messages on the build,
but it seems OK. That should do it for you.
Good Luck.

I have a couple of questions.
1) I have been through the documentation...i have to copy iText 1.3.jar
file into
/birt.war/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.pdf /lib .
I did not find that path, i can see
/birt.war/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.fo/ lib
can i copy iText1.3.jar file into this path?
2)Copy prototype.js v1.4.0 to /birt.war/ajax/lib directory.
I did't find that path, shall i copy prototype.js into /birt.war/js/
3) Did you create a link file from WSAD to BIRT 2.0?Are you able to open
BIRT Designer from WSAD ?
Thanks
Srini

We had the same problem (white window, no icon), solved using the code
copied below).
I suggest the folowing:
1. Try with another browser, to check wether the problem is linked
with IE or not.
2. If it works with another (recent) browser, then it is a problem
caused by I: try my second suggestion:
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000"
WIDTH=800 HEIGHT=600> <PARAM NAME="SRC" VALUE="item3.PDF"> <EMBED
SRC="item3.PDF" HEIGHT=800 WIDTH=600> <NOEMBED> Your browser does not
support embedded PDF files. </NOEMBED> </EMBED></OBJECT>
Have a nice day.

Srini,
1. You should have the
plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.pdf/lib directory in the
war file. Make sure you extract the .war from the latest copy of the
birt-runtime-2_0_0.zip file from the BIRT download site.
2. Same here. You should have an ajax/lib directory in the .war file.
3. We are using the RCP Designer (Rich Client) instead of the eclipse
plug-in. Not all of our "report developers" will have WSAD.
Best,
~Scott

Frederic,
Thanks again for your reply. Where would this code go if I am simply
using the BIRT Report Viewer? For example, I use the following URL in my
browser and have this problem:
http://mywasserver/Birt/run?__format=pdf&__report=myRepo rt.rptdesign
Best Regards,
~Scott

Did you set the J2EE level of the Birt web project to 1.2?
If not, do this: for the BIRT web project, right click and choose
properties, then select the web option on the properties dialog. Here you
need to set the J2EE level to 1.2 (it is probably defaulted to 1.3). Then
import the birt.war file that comes in the birt-runtime-2_0_0.zip file,
and make the additions of jar files, js files, etc. as noted on the Birt
website. Then build the project and deploy it to your WSAD test server.
This should fix the problem.
You can do a Google Groups search on "major.minor version 48.0" for more
info.

~Scott

Hi Srini,
I forgot to mention earlier that I also had to change the js.jar file in
my WSAD installation. I also was getting java exceptions in the BIRT
javascript functionality. I updated this file and they went away. Just
do a search for js.jar - you may find several versions on your machine.
Replace the one in your WSAD classpath with a newer one (my new one is
683K and dated 10/27/2005). I hope this helps.
Regards,
~Scott

Srini,
You really shouldn't just replace the js.jar file in your WSAD
installation. Setting your war's class loader mode to "Parent Last" is
the way to go. This way the js.jar file from BIRT is loaded before the
one in the WSAD installation, resolving the error.
I'm not sure why you're getting a Javascript error.

Failed to load servlet: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:

(Unsupported major.minor version 48.0)
After modifying the class loader mode to "Parent Last" i get rid of that
error, but getting this java Script error.
I checked the size of js.jar file in my
"BirtProject/Webcontect/Web-Inf/lib" its 683k and time stamp 01/24/06.
Scott....is that the only place i need to take care of the js.jar or any
other places too..
Sarah, i am using IE 6.0

Srini,
Sarah's suggestion to change the class loader to Parent Last fixes the
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError exception. I have not gotten any
javascript errors, so I can't help you there. Sorry.

for me, if i try with BIRT 2.0, i am getting JVM Termination error.
hope this will help.
