Eclipse和BIRT错误 - 在Web查看器中查看报告

Question

I am using Eclipse 4.3 Kepler with BIRT 4.3.2 on a 64-bit machine running Windows 7 and Java 8.

When I select Run -> View Report -> In Web Viewer the following error message is displayed:


HTTP ERROR: 500
Problem accessing /viewer/frameset. Reason:

Server Error

Powered by Jetty://


This happens even with a simple "Hello World" report that contains only static (ie non-dynamic) content.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Answer 1

Seems there is a problem with the "View Report" Option where the internal Jetty Server does not work with Java 8.

Downgrading to Java 7 worked fine. In Java 8 you have to use the View Report as option eg View Report as Doc.

See also here: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/739682/ There is a bugzilla entry, unfortunatly with no solution yet.

Answer 2

Check Data source.

I get same error when i try to run the report taken from the server having only DB driver class and JNDI URL and having blank in DB URL, Username and Password.

Answer 3

I suspect the problem is that you have not installed a web viewer like Apache Tomcat http://tomcat.apache.org

In much the same way that you can not open a BIRT report as Excel on a machine without Excel. you can not open as a web page without a web viewer.

I put some similar comments on the question BIRT report not running in web viewer but the OP has not followed through.

Work in progress, attempting to recreate a functional system that matches a working version (4.2.0).

• From the server you are installing on (ie MyServerDEV04)
• Create a new version of the application go to http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/
  • Download the current version (ie 4.3.2 'All-in-One', Windows 64 BIT)
  • Create to (save as, or copy to after opening) new file "C:\\Program Files\\eclipse-All-In_One4_3_2
• Install Apache Tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org/
  • Download the current version (ie 7.0 .53 64 BIT)
  • Create to (save as, or copy to after opening) new files "C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 7.0.53"
  • Do a md5 checksum? NO ; Windows does not have the tool you can get it here https://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290/en-us but not probably not worthwhile for a single event
  • It looks like for Windows, it is pretty easy. Downloading 7.0 .53 now .
  • Looks like windows-x64.zip is the correct file
  • Create to (save as, or copy to after opening) new files ""C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 7.0.53"

• Install Driver For BIRT

  • You can get the most current 'Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server' at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937724.aspx
  • C:\\Program Files\\eclipse-All-In_One4_3_2\\plugins\\org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_4.3.1.v201308301349\\drivers
  • C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 7.0\\webapps\\Birt\\WEB-INF\\lib
  • Apache file will not exist until you open BIRT for the first time.

• Check that you have both 32 & 64 bit Java is installed http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

  • I was browsing with a 32 bit, installing 64 BIT did not give a good test, but it did over come the Java issue BIRT was complaining about.
• Launch BIRT -
  • Launch using C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 7.0.53\\webapps\\Birt as the workspace
  • Open workbench
• Next step is set up house then testing.
