axis.jar & the viewer plugin

Brian1

Hi,<br />
I wrote a plugin for BIRT that uses axis.jar.<br />
I have tried to use the MANIFEST.MF file to point my plugin to the axis.jar file located in:<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>pluginsorg.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_2.2.1.r22x_v20070920birtWEB-INFlib</strong> <br />
<br />
but I haven't been able to get that to work, so I've had to deploy axis.jar inside of my new plugin folder.<br />
<br />
When I use the designer to build my report, my new plugin works great. But when I click on the Preview tab to run my report, I get the following:<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.axis.client.Axisclient</strong><br />
<br />
I'm really baffled here, and I'm fairly new to the MANIFEST.MF world. I've tried adding Required-Bundle and Import-Package to my MANIFEST.MF file, but nothing seems to make a difference.<br />
<br />
Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
-Brian

Hi Brian, you may have already figured this problem out but for anyone else reading this thread, there is a similar thread about where to place your external JARs at <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.com/forum/deploying-integrating-birt-report-engine-applications/13869-accessing-pojo-data-source-plugin.html#post43813'>http://www.birt-exchange.com/forum/deploying-integrating-birt-report-engine-applications/13869-accessing-pojo-data-source-plugin.html#post43813</a&gt;
