405 POST error using print

Doobie

So, I started with BIRT 2.1 a few years back. I have since upgraded to 2.3, then 2.5. The reports still work fine, but the Viewer added some new functionality. The export still works like it did, but there is now a print button as well. The original error I got from print was 404. I soon discovered it was because the 'output' directory did not exist. Not finding a way to set this in the web.xml file, I added an output directory to the war file.

That changed the error to 405 POST not supported. This is generally due to the servlets involved not being set up to handle POST type requests. Is there a fix for this (maybe upgrade to 2.6) or is this going to be something I code myself? And if the latter, can you point me to the place where the change needs to be made?

Thanks.

Hi Doobie, I'll move this topic to the Deloying Forum for the BIRT Viewer to see if others there know the answer.
