BIRT, resin and the 'New Project' Wizard in eclipse...

GreenGiant

Hiya folks,

Just in case it saves someone else the hassle...

When creating a new dynamic web project with BIRT runtime in eclipse you are given a fully fledged web.xml. This new (empty) birt project should run 'out of the box' (showing you a BIRT index.jsp and linking to an example).

Indeed it does do this in tomcat. However, if you happen to be using the resin application server you will get the error...

expected binary operation at `Root' in Context Root

This is due to some of the comments in the auto generated web.xml. If everywhere you find:

${Context Root}

...you replace it with...

[application root]

... you'll be fine. Resin seems to get all upset about the ${ stuff, even though it's in comments.

Any chance you can log a bug on the BIRT project for this? Maybe we can get it dropped from the comments.
