Getting error in sample.rtpdesign when running in report viewer

Hi, 
 
I am new to BIRT. 
 
My project requirements is that I need to create a report in servlet and display it on jsp pages. The report will use data provided by user. 
 
I tried to to create sample.rptdesign using java code as mentioned in following link. 
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://wiki.eclipse.org/Java_-_Simple_Design_Engine_API_(BIRT'>Java - Simple Design Engine API (BIRT - Eclipsepedia</a>) 
 
The java code executed successfully it and created a file (sample.rptdesign), but when I tried to view this report in viewer installed in Tomcat 6.0.16 then I got following error: 
+ The report file : I:ServerTomcat 6.0.16webappsWebViewerExample/sample.rptdesign does not exist or contains errors. 
 
org.eclipse.birt.report.exception.ViewerException: The report file : I:ServerTomcat 6.0.16webappsWebViewerExample/sample.rptdesign does not exist or contains errors.

I can view that report perfectly fine in eclipse ganymede web viewer. 
 
I check the version of birt runtime (2.3.2) from which I took jar files to compile my java code. 
 
The BIRT chart framework installed in eclipse has version 2.3.2 
 
 
I am struggling to find out the reason since 1 week. 
Please help 
Thanks in advance.

Hi arun1607,

What URL did you type in to your browser to try to access the report from the Tomcat Server?

Hi Guys, did anyone experience this problem above and succesfully resolve it? 
I am getting the exact same error as specified in the original post by arun1607. 
The two sample reports will display just fine in tomcat 
URL format is: <a class='bbc_url' href='http://myhostname:8080/birt-viewer/run?__report=test.rptdesign&sample=my+parameter'>http://myhostname:8080/birt-viewer/run?__report=test.rptdesign&sample=my+parameter</a> 
 
test.rptdesign will run and display fine. 
If I try to display one of my own .rptdesign files (developed in Eclipse with 
BIRT designer and display's just fine in eclipse), it errors out. 
 
Tried to find the source code for ViewerAttributeBean.java to see if 
I could get more info on why it falls over at the lines indicated but 
I was not able to find it. 
 
Thanks 
-Tommy

I resolved this and am now at the next problem! 
 
Basically, the error means that it can not find the .rptdesign file that 
is specified in the querystring. Turns out there were 2 instances of tomcat 
installed on my machine, I had placed the .rptdesign in the wrong instance. 
 
Bottom line - the error posted in this thread means that the rptdesign file 
doesnt exsist. The stack trace itself is a bit misleading.

Hi Michael Williams,
 
I am working on ECLIPSE BIRT version 4.4.1 version. When i am running test report in WebViewer under Tomcat (Version 7) , it is running fine. But whenever i am trying to run my report under WebViewer, it is not running. I am getting error like "- The report file : EmployeeTest_report does not exist or contains errors." Same report is running fine in my ECLIPSE BIRT. I am trying the below URL. Logs also attached for more detail. Please help me in closing the case on high priority.

Try adding the .rptdesign to the end of your report name supplied in the URL.
