hi,

I'm working on the Servlet Example (2.1) which throws an error:

URL: http://localhost:8080/WebReport/run?ReportName=testWebReport.rptdesign

HTTP Status 500 -

description: The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
BirtEngine.getBirtEngine(BirtEngine.java:81)
WebReport.doGet(WebReport.java:66)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:617)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717)

I'm using the birt-runtim 4.2.1 and tomcat 6.0.36.

I got an different screen after I've deleted the platform folder which includes two directories (plugin and configuration).

At that time it didn't occure a error but a weird screen:

%PDF-1.5 %âãÏÓ 2 0 obj <>stream xœ'ÍNÃ0„ï~Š=Âeñú?'Â½`©gHÝ""@"6Ry{ì¤"%¨,ÅÊ(ßx2ëš=x& XmÀ¯XîÙ‚Õ,ã`()À(M`KöÑËÆ©NÈQ>ÿþW¯"óÝ#qðkFÀã"È8JÈ EuRÓÓWì†[ä„‚"ŒØ½Ò·þ½Ï"Ná¨9e~v‚f3ðÙ(yvïJLIÖó¤êZTZw¥ôcGìORÑ¸!&4ÆöæÐ.ê;Z»Ð-"¡-Þ¿X†Wx ÛÏfùá¥ÚNýOÙ"2944æ›BÑîÃjÖIÆ¹;}Áé¹-Ân·nËòfMu"™kjöBÅÒÎ þu§®¦ûð"ô‚}ËÃ endstream endobj 6 0 obj <> endobj 7 0 obj <>)/ModDate(D:20130107104558+01'00')/CreationDate(D:20130107104558+01'00')>> endobj 5 0 obj <>stream xœMPÑjÃ0ü?n«j/¬J`I--Æ $† BÛ`~q;N±+¶òUª'òNløfwÿ·d °3‚Ã«éC--ÄLÑú¤eo© endstream endobj 8 0 obj <<24df8fe204539c15cbb9eab555629144>]/Length 42/Info 7 0 R/Size 9/Filter/FlateDecode>>stream xœÆÁ Ã@§¨oöd2F`»Ðøq2`Ä†\´Þ .ÉþrË÷ endstream endobj startxref 1296 %%EOF

Now I get a different error but i just put the platform folder back so I'm not sure why the error has changed:

HTTP Status 500 - Servlet.init() for servlet WebReport threw exception

HI Michael,

thanks for replying. That works but actually I was trying to run this example http://wiki.eclipse.org/Java_-_Dynamic_Report_Servlet_%28BIRT%29
An there is a note that I have to replace the WebReport class with the DynamicReport.java. So if I do it with the webviewer example I don't know how to use this example?!

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Samet

Can you zip up and attach your dynamic servlet, minus the BIRT jars, so I can see your setup and test? Thanks.

I made a couple changes, like taking out the setBirtHome and changing the deprecated engine shutdown() to engine.destroy() and it worked for me. Here are the modified java files.

Hi Michael,

thank you but unfortunately I still have a problem.
I guess I placed sth. wrong or sth. like that.
So let me describe tha points I did:

1. Created a a DynamicReport/WEB-INF/lib underneath the Tomcat webapps directory
2. Copied all the jars in the birt-runtime-4_2_1/ReportEngine/lib into my DynamicReport/WEB-INF/lib
3. Created a director named platform in my WEB-INF folder
4. Copied from my BIRT All in one Designer Package eclipse-reporting-juno-SR1-win32-x86_64/eclipse/configuration and eclipse-reporting-juno-SR1-win32-x86_64/eclipse/plugin
5. Created a Java Projec which includes the BirtEngine.java , DynamicReport.java and BirtConfig.properties
6. Added all external jars from birt-runtime-4_2_1/ReportEngine/lib to my Java Project + the serlvet-api.jar from the Tomcat libary
7. Exported my Project as an Jar file to DynamicReport/WEB-INF/lib
8. Created the web.xml and placed it in DynamicReport/WEB-INF
9. Created trhe Dynamic.html and placed it in the DynamicReport folder
10. started tomcat 7.0.34
11. Called Dynamic.html

If you want I can add the whole folder if it's neccesary.
I hope you can find sth. I did wrong in this case.

I also debugged my BirtEngine.java and DynamicReport.java but I just could debug till

birtEngine = factory.createReportEngine( config );

That's the line when I get the NullPointerException.

-----------------------------------------

I tried an alternative.
I copied everything in my BIRT WebViewerExample Folder except the platform directory and called the Dynamic.html
At that time I got a different error. It's:

- There is no report design object available.
org.eclipse.birt.report.exception.ViewerException: There is no report design object available.
