Issues in birt deployment in Tomcat


As per documentation available over link http://www.eclipse.org/birt/documentation/integrating/viewer-setup.php Have tried all steps but on copying WebViewerExample folder in webapps folder of tomcat server, the manager shows WebViewerExample as in false state. On copying entire birt-runtime folder the tomcat manager finally shows birt-runtime as true state. On clicking that however it is not showing expected page. Showing these

By changing url as follows localhost:8080/birt-runtime/birtViewer it is showing expected result. However on clicking view example it is throwing 404 error. Have tried possible options to solve this but it is not helping


Solution

  • The problem is Birt did not properly sign their file properly. You need to go and delete 2 files in two locations to resolve this. Unfortunately the BIRT team has been aware of this problem for a long time, but having BIRT run on anything but Eclipse apparently isn't important to them.

    You can find the details of the fix at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=497356

    And note that most (all?) of the people who didn't get it working - their mistake was they only deleted the 2 files in 1 place, when they deleted them in both places everything is fine.
