Cant startup the OSGI framework

I have followed the example from <a class='bbc_url' href='http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_(BIRT)_2.1'>Servlet Example (BIRT) 2.1 - Eclipsepedia</a>. It works perfectly in a Windows environment but not in the Ubuntu deployment environment. 
 
birt-viewer works in deployment but not in my servlet. Google is not turning up any results for this particular problem. Has anyone had experience with this error.

Adding ?Dbirthome=/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/xyz/platform had no effect on it. Does anyone have some other suggestions I can try?

tseiber

To try to isolate the problem I created a web app that only consists of the classes from <a class='bbc_url' href='http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_(BIRT)_2.1'>Servlet Example (BIRT) 2.1 - Eclipsepedia</a>. I created the platform directory and copied everything as instructed to it. Also I placed all the jars from ReportEngine/lib in WEB-INF/lib. 
 
Again it works fine in my windows environment but this is what I get on deployment to Ubuntu. 
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is just a stab, but it looks like your Ubuntu might be utilizing GWT from the stack. GWT app engine prohibits the startup of DEAPI or REAPI platforms because of the fact that no file IO operations are allowed (I'm assuming to support the nature of their cloud development using the app engine).

Try going to your project's properties and under google uncheck the app-engine functionality. This resolved my issues and I wasn't using the app engine so I was fine.

However keep in mind that Ubuntu may use it, and I'm unfamiliar with Ubuntu so I wouldn't know. Good luck.

Im assuming your using GWT in your servlet? Id be interested to know more about it. I did a whole application built around BIRT and GWT several years ago.

If your running under Ubuntu, make sure you are using the Sun JDK, not the default JDK that comes with Ubuntu. The GNU JDK is NOT compatible, despite what they say.
