Can't get 2.0 Releases Preview to Work ... Stumped and Pulling My Hair Out [message #113783] Tue, 24 January 2006 07:29 Go to next message

I installed 2.0 Release over 2.0 RC 1 by following the upgrade install.
I started eclipse with -- clean.
The report perspective comes up just fine.
I can make a new report.
I can preview data (jdbc connection works and polls data).
When I hit preview though, I get:


HTTP Status 500 -

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

type Exception report

message

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



Which tells me absolutely nothing. There's nothing in the internal eclipse
log. If the Birt viewer is producing a log, I can't find it. I thought
updating the web.xml in :

\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_2.0.0\birt\W EB-INF



To turn on debugging via:

<context-param>
<param-name>BIRT_VIEWER_LOG_DIR</param-name>
<param-value></param-value>
</context-param>

<!-- Report engine log level -->
<context-param>
<param-name>BIRT_VIEWER_LOG_LEVEL</param-name>
<param-value>FINEST</param-value>
</context-param>



But I'm still not getting a log out.

Can anybody suggest a way to get some debugging informaiton out here? The
preview used to work fine in 1.0.1 and 2.0 RC 1, but now all I get is the
aforementioned nondescript error.

Thanks,

Managed to solve part of the problem; BIRT now has additional third party
dependencies; when they say you need to install axis on the install page,
they're not kidding.

Other noteworthy changes:

Previously (1.0.1 and 2.0 RC 1) default parameter values were specified with
the javascript tick mark, presumably because they were evaluated by the js
parser e.g.

'ABC123' or
'12/25/05'

That no longer works; you now *must* remove the ticks so

ABC123
12/25/05

I'll pass along more information as I have it.
