I was in the middle of moving our report viewer and reports over to a new Ubuntu server. I just installed Tomcat 5.5 from the repos, installed the webapps and the admin package and made sure that everything was working.

I tested the example that they have there and they worked. So I proceeded to copy over our currently working Birt Web report viewer from the old VPS unit on CentOS. I kept getting OSGI errors. So I finally said today forget it, and I downloaded the most recent version and went into Tomcat manager, I uploaded my recently downloaded WAR file for the web viewer directly to the tomcat manager and let IT install it directly.

All worked and installed. So I clicked on "birt" in the manager. The test page came up, I clicked on view sample report, bam, OSGI error.

Any thought's on how to fix this? That is the complete error that comes up on screen in red letters when trying to view any report, even the test. I haven't changed ANYTHING at all in the default report viewer, I uploaded the WAR file then ran it.

So what gives?

[mwilliams]

So, downloading a new runtime and deploying a fresh war file just to run the sample test report does not work?

[jfreak53]

Yep, correct. I downloaded the most recent runtime off the site and then uploaded the war and tried that since it's fresh, it should work I said ha ha

And even that one gave me the same error.

I have tested standard JSP pages just to make sure that tomcat is working and those work just fine.

[jfreak53]

Ok, so after some working and searching I got it working, sort of but I need some advise before I continue.

First off for anyone searching, this happens because of this problem right here:

https://bugs.eclipse...g.cgi?id=182161

It seems that BIRT and Tomcat's Security feature don't play nicely, comment 28 and 32 both have solutions to this. But since I don't need security features I just found my /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 file and turned off security. Or SECURITY=OFF.

It worked!! Well sort of ha ha. Then I couldn't get the WAR to deploy. So I fiddle and fiddle with the web.xml file and come to find out this line is what doesn't let Birt deploy:

<!-- Viewer Servlet Context Listener -->
<listener>
		<listener-class>org.eclipse.birt.report.listener.ViewerServletContextListener</listener-class>
	</listener>

Once I comment that line out Tomcat will deploy BIRT just fine.

So now my question, is this needed or can I leave it commented out? If it's needed then what do I have to do to allow it to deploy, and why is tomcat stopping it?

Thanks for any help with this. I hope my hours of searching can save someone else with the OSGI errors in the future.

[jfreak53]

Ok so now that it's running and deployed without that line now I get a new error, I think it's still related to security:

Do you use "CodeSigner" in your code?

I thought you may help me to solve this ..i dont see CodeSigner refrences as such in given sample report

Are you setting the BIRT_HOME variable in the command line before you call genReport?

Try this:

set BIRT_HOME = location of report engine
cd location of report engine\ReportEngine
genReport samples/Hello_World.rptdesign

[vj_agl]

Yes,BIRT_HOME is properly exported ....Any clue ? i am using jdk1.6.0_26 and OS is Linux RHEL

$- /opt/birt/birt-2.6.2-2/ReportEngine> export BIRT_HOME=/opt/birt/birt-2.6.2-2/
$- /opt/birt/birt-2.6.2-2/ReportEngine> echo $BIRT_HOME

Are the '+' signs in your error stack expandable? If so, can you expand them? Thanks!
