Deployment Birt viewer on Jboss non-localhost machine

eden91940

After following the deployment instructions, i ve got this url to view the report : 
 
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://localhost:8080/birt/run?__rep...n&__format=PDF'>http://localhost:8080/birt/run?__rep...n&__format=PDF</a> 
 
but if I deploy birt and Jboss on a other machine (VM OS windows server 2003 for example), what files do i configure to obtain : 
 
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://ip_windowsserver_machine:8080/birt/r...n&__format=PDF'>http://ip_windowsserver_machine:8080/birt/r...n&__format=PDF</a> 
 
web.xml ? server.xml ? which way to follow ? 
 
 
thx

Hi eden91940,

The setup should be the same no matter where the viewer is deployed, I would imagine. The only thing you would have to change would be the URL to access the other machine rather than your local machine. If I'm not understanding what you're looking for, let me know. Thanks.

Hi Michael,

Yes, i want to change the url to access the other machine from my local machine.

eden91940,

You should just have to change the computer information from localhost to the external computer's info at the beginning of the URL, the rest stays the same. What do you have questions on about the URL?

No it doesn't work ! Actually the problem is : 
 
first machine : personal computer named M1, second machine server named M2 
localhost is 127.5.26.503 for both 
 
 
i have installed Jboss 4.2.2 and BIRT 2.3.2 on M1 and M2 
 
when i launch Jboss on the M2 server, i open IE on M2 and the url <a class='bbc_url' href='http://localhost:8080/birt/'>http://localhost:8080/birt/</a> => it's ok i obtain the birt viewer ! 
but with <a class='bbc_url' href='http://ip_M2:8080/birt/'>http://ip_M2:8080/birt/</a> => it doesn't work, i forgot something, a parameter file... ? 
 
i want an access to <a class='bbc_url' href='http://ip_M2:8080/birt/'>http://ip_M2:8080/birt/</a> on M1 and M2 without lauching Jboss and Birt on M1 
 
is it clear ?

Generally, if <a class='bbc_url' href='http://localhost:8080/birt/'>http://localhost:8080/birt/</a> works, then <a class='bbc_url' href='http://[server_name]:8080/birt/'>http://[server_name]:8080/birt/</a> will work too. Some things you may want to check are to make sure there is not a firewall blocking port 8080 from your server machine.
