OnJava.com: Deploying BIRT - servlet.jar in 'Tomcat Eclipse plugin'? [message #196067] Tue, 17 October 2006 18:40 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm looking at the article, Deploying BIRT,
( http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2006/07/26/deploying-birt .html)
and I just went through the first two scenarios - deploying the BIRT
viewer servlet to Tomcat and creating a servlet and running it on
Tomcat. Although I was successful I could not find the servlet.jar file
referenced in the article on Page 2 after Figure 2.

I was not sure which Tomcat Eclipse plugin the article was referring to,
but I downloaded the 3.1 and 3.2 versions of the Sysdeo Eclipse Tomcat
Launcher plugin and could not find a servlet.jar file. I found a
tomcat.jar file, but it did not contain the required classes
(javax.servlet.* ) to compile BirtEngine.java or WebReport.java.

I resolved the problem by adding servlet-api.jar to the build path in
Eclipse which I snagged from my standalone 5.5.15 Tomcat installation
(under the common/lib directory), but it would be helpful if the article
could be corrected to specifically point out which Tomcat plugin to
download, and where this servlet.jar file is located if this is the
preferred way to build the required classes for the example.

If the article can not be corrected, maybe this information can help
others when running the examples.

Regards,

Susan

Susan,

Thanks for the information. The Tomcat plugin is the one delivered with
eclipse.
org.eclipse.tomcat_4.1.130.v20060601 in the latest download.
The servlet.jar is located in that plugin.
