Error in Accessing Reports Using Servlet [message #1016958] Fri, 08 March 2013 11:03 Go to next message

I am trying to access my report(MainReport.rptdesign) using the servlet.
For that i have followed the sample servlet that is provided here : http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_(BIRT)_2.1
( I have changed - report's name to MainReport.rptdesign in WebReport.java & setEngineHome in BirtEngine.java )
I have added WebViewerExample(renamed it as birt) in the "webapps" directory of "Tomcat". I have also added commonloggin jars in tomcats lib.

It is working fine(i am able to access & see the reports on URL like : h

ttp://localhost:8080/birt/run?__report=Report\MainReport.rptdesign ) when i start the "Tomcat" by clicking "startup.bat" available in bin of tomcat.

But the problem arises when I try to access these reports from the eclipse using the servlets in the DynamicWebProject.

I am getting the error http 404 - requested resource is not available.

Please let me know if I am missing some step or doing something wrong

Your help is much appreciated.

What version of BIRT are you using? If you are using 3.7 or greater make sure you remove the birt home in BirtEngine.java. Make sure you have the birt jars from the runtime download/reportengine/lib in your web-inf/lib of your project.

I am using birt 4.2.2 , & also removed the setEngineHome() in Birt.java .
But I am still not able to access my reports using the servlet .(But able to access them if I start tomcat using startup.bat and then directly opening the Url h ttp://localhost:8080/birt/frameset?__report=MainReport.rptdesign )

Also copied the jars from ReportEngine\lib to birt\Web-Inf lib (though it already had those jars but i rechecked that by replacing those jars) . Now I am struck. Please help me out.

I am now getting the error ...

Brij,

Sorry for the late reply. I just tested this on my system using a dynamic web project and it worked for me. Look at the attached image of my project structure. I put a red box around the lib folder where you need to import the BIRT runtime libs. These libs are located in the runtime download /ReportEngine/lib folder. I also had to add the servlet-api.jar to the build path.

Thanks Jason,

Now the WebReport Servlet is running fine without any error.(I guess the reason for the error was -that I didn't make Report folder underneath WebContent of my workspace , thinking that it will take the myReports.rptdesign from the Report folder of birt inside the tomcat javascript: insertTag(document.post_form.msg_body, '', ' Razz '); )

But the issue that I am facing right now is that Report is not getting displayed properly... a blank report is getting displayed when I run the report from the servlet. (but the example report available as SalesInvoice.rptdesign is working fine as expected even from servlets)

But if I directly double-click on the MainReport.rptdesign and preview it ,then it is displayed properly without any issue.

Your help is much appreciated !!

What report were you trying to display when you took the BlankReportDisplayed.jpg image? Can you post it?

Hello Jason, I tried to display MainReport.rptdesign from the servlet WebReport
( Actually MainReport is displaying a piechart of Sample SoapDistribution and there is another Drill through report , SubReport.rptdesign which will show UserDistribution for a particular Soap when a particular section of MainReports Piechart is clicked )

Sorry for the late reply. Any chance you could try the attached report that uses the sample db? I am trying to determine if this is an image issue or a data source.

Hello Jason,
Thanks for replying, The reports that uses sampleDB are working fine. But I don't know why the reports with other datasources are not working ( now even in the preview option of eclipse are not working , while results are shown in the Dataset Preview Results option ... this means db connection is well established )

When it fails in the preview, switch to the xml view in the report editor and look to see if any red dots are in the margin. If so hover over them and see if there is a stack trace. Are these reports using Access DB? What driver are you using?
