Avoid PageBreakInside

I did one report with 4 grouping levels. In first group, I set Page Break Inside property as "Avoid". When I run the report through BIRT, in my computer, the report works fine and perfectly.

However, testing exactly the same report in application's server of my company (OC4J), this report didn't "interprets" Avoid attribute. When I tried set this through this.getStyle().pageBreakInside table's property, I received this message (only on server):

org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: There are errors evaluating script "this.getStyle().pageBreakInside = "Avoid";":
Wrapped org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api.metadata.PropertyValueException: The choice value "Avoid" is not found

Anybody know why or has any ideia? Thanks a lot.

Hi brunocobra,

What version of BIRT designer are you using and what version of runtime is the application server you're running the report on using?

Hi mwilliams!

The version of my BIRT Designer is 2.2.1 and the version of runtime is 2.3.2. Any ideia?

mwilliams

brunocobra,

Yes. Unfortunately, the "Avoid" Inside option was removed in 2.3.1 because of issues with it not working as expected. It will be reintroduced in BIRT 2.5, I believe.

Very thanks for your help, but I'm shocked. What I do now?

I really need of this enhancement. There's an estimate of new release or anything that I could do now to simulate this effect?

You could always upgrade your runtime to the latest milestone build of version 2.5. You can find that <a class='bbc_url' href='http://download.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/build_list.php'>here</a>. These are not official release versions. I don't believe the actual release of 2.5 is until this summer sometime, but you could test your reports on the milestone build to make sure they all work and then deploy it if they do.

Many thanks for your help.

To solve my problem, I prefered to install Runtime 2.2.1 on application's server and all works fine so.

Thanks!

Guess I could have suggested that way too.

Glad I could help.
