Hallo,

I have tried the BIRT Flex Output Emitter downloaded from the marketplace under Linux with the OSS BIRT and have found 2 problems:

1) the tool has hard-coded windows slashes:
WARNING: Cannot run program "/home/martin/birt/flash/flex/\bin\mxmlc.exe": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

2) the output is not well formed and does not translate or validate:
$ xmllint mxml_20100131152148.mxml
mxml_20100131152148.mxml:105: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: Grid line 33 and GridItem


Is there a newer (fixed) version or source code somewhere available to play with? Or do you have better experience with the emitter under similar circumstances?

Thanks and regards,

Martin Povolny

Hi Martin,

Thanks for reviewing the Flex Output Emitter.

We had restricted the testing environment to Windows only. I will see if i can make it to run in a Linux environment. Meanwhile, were you able to run the sample reports in a Windows environment?

On the second issue of report not getting translated, were you trying one of the sample reports or your own report?

I will try to answer your queries as much as possible.

Thanks
Sandeep

Hallo, and thanks for you reply.

I did not test the plugin on windows, I tested only Linux and given the error (wrong type of slashes) I do not expect the problem to occur on windows.

Fix should be fairly simple: use File.pathSeparator instead of hard coded windows shash "\".

The second problem occured when testing my own report.

Regards,

Martin Povolny

Martin,

I will test out the change in the linux environment. In the meanwhile, could you send me the report design you are trying to run? If you could send me an associated report document as well that would be great.

Thanks
Sandeep

I just tried the emitter under with Actuate 11 on Windows and I can't get it to work. The documentation all references Actuate 10. Is there a version for Actuate 11, or some documentation on what I would need to change to get it working on 11?
