Hi all,

i've tried around with BIRT for a little while and so far it was very exciting. Most of my questions and problems i could solve with the forums and docs mentiont in but now i stand with a problem without a obvious Solution:

I have made a little Drill-Down with Hyperlinks. There are 2 *.rptdesign Files. One is linked to the other over a link in a report.

In the eclipse-designer all works very well but as soon i deploy the Files into de BIRT-WebViewer the links look like: http://localhost:808...eport.rptdesign

Except this everything does well, the reports themself are shown correct.

I hope someone can help me or give me advice where i am wrong.

Greetings,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,

What is the problem you're having? The reports work fine, but you don't want the link presented in the way it is? Is this correct?

[tobiasw]

The report itself is fine, but i've put a link on the data that should drill-down to another report. And these links are broken in the way i described (../../../../(...))

I've received a mail with a workaround for this problem.
Problem was the BIRT_VIEWER_WORKING_FOLDER - Variable in the web.xml. As long as it contained the {birt-home}-var i've got links that showed up like:

http://localhost:808...SingleErrorType.

The workaround is only a partial solution as i want to store my reports packaged in the birt-deployment.

Greetings and Thanks,
Tobias

The BIRT_VIEWER_WORKING_FOLDER variable in the web.xml can be a relative path also so you can still deploy your reports with your application.
