I have BIRT viewer (v2.5.1) deployed on Tomcat 6 server behind firewall. Application server retrieve reports one by one from BIRT viewer and includes them in to output page. That part is working perfectly
Now, I tried to show images included in report to end user. Because user can not access them directly, I am using Apache on application server to proxy requests to server on which BIRT viewer is running. Those request comes to BIRT viewer exactly same like in case I am running viewer directly, but instead of getting image, I got error 500 with following stacktrace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
