2.0 M3 to 2.0.0 issues [message #119038]

I just migrated my RCP installation and my Report Engine deployment from
2.0 M3 to 2.0.0 and have encountered the following two issues:

1)BIRT_VIEWER_REPORT_ROOT is no longer using the value I supply.
In M3 I have this set to c:/appServer/myWebAppRoot/reports
When I try this in 2.0.0 it will only find reports that sit
in myWebAppRoot. I have also tried a relative path to /reports
but I get the same behavior.

2)Charts are not displaying. I have opened these charts in the 2.0.0
RCP and have been able to preview fine there, but when I invoke using
the ViewerServlet I just get a blank page. No errors are generated and
the page contains nothing at all, viewing source displays nothing as
well. My tabular reports are displaying correctly.

Anyone with similar issues or ideas?

thanks in advance.
Brian

For 1) set same value to "BIRT_VIEWER_WORKING_FOLDER".

Excellent, thank you!

Not sure how I missed this change, is it documented somewhere? I have
been using the web.xml that is included in the Web Viewer
Example/WEB-INF directory for the parameter definitions, which obviously
needs updating as it still refers to BIRT_VIEWER_REPORT_ROOT

This is a bug. We need to make sure the packaged web.xml has right
parameter name too.

For the chart issue, what browser and OS you are using? Does it support SVG,
if not, you can disable SVG in the chart wizard.

Thanks for the reply Wenfeng, I am using firefox 1.5. I did test by
changing the output format from svg to gif, jpeg and png but I get the
exact same behavior with each setting. It is also my understanding that
if a report set to svg is requested from a non-svg supported browser
the engine is smart enough to display using a different format, but I
may be wrong on that.

Thanks for the responses,

In regards to #2 (Charts not displaying) it appears to be some cruft
from 2.0 M3 left in the plugins dir causing the issue. I did a
completely clean install and was able to resolve the issue.

thanks again,
Brian
