Change location of BIRT config files?

remo

Hi

I use BIRT 2.5.2 in a stand-alone Swing application.
My question is whether I can customize the location where BIRT stores its configuration. I face the problem that end users usually don't have write permission in the ReportEngine/configuration folder of the installed application.

I see two options:
- the location of the configuration can be changed
- the whole BIRT_HOME must be moved to a location where users have write access

Thanks for you advice,
Remo

Remo,
Try using the osgi.configuration.area osgi setting.
Something like this:

config = new EngineConfig( );
config.setBIRTHome("C:\\birt\\birt-runtime-2_5_1\\birt-runtime-2_5_1\\ReportEngine");
HashMap hm = new HashMap();
hm.put("osgi.configuration.area","c:/dwn/osgiconfig");
config.setOSGiConfig(hm);
config.setLogConfig(null, Level.OFF);
Platform.startup( config );
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform
.createFactoryObject( IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY );
engine = factory.createReportEngine( config );
