Hi,

Is it possible to set breakpoints in the BIRT servlet code running
within the embedded Tomcat server and thus step through what is happening?
If so, how is it done?

Thanks, Ivan.

Yes. It is possible. You can debug as an eclipse application.

To get source and to build it, Check out the building instructions at
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/build/buildInstructions. php

In that link, the section on 'Running BIRT' is helpful.
In this section, instead of the first step to choose run option in
eclipse, choose debug.

HTH,
Sunitha.

Dear Sunitha,

Thank you for the tip on this. I have read the article now and it
certainly seems to be what I need.

I have the 2.2M5 BIRT source and the 3.3M5eh release of Eclipse. There are
some compile errors because the TargetPlatform and ModelEntry have been
moved from "org.eclipse.pde.internal.core" to
"org.eclipse.pde.core.plugin" (which is obviousdly as good thing).

The more major problem is that the ModelEntry.getActiveModel() and
ExternalModelManager.getEclipseHome() methods, called from
ReportLauncherUtil, no longer exist.

Does anyone have any ideas about the appropriate course to take at this
point? (I need 3.3M5eh for other aspects of my application.)

Best wishes, Ivan.
