Problem with hyperlinks and absolute paths...
brewmeone
Hello,
I'm curious if anyone has run into this issue...
We're using BIRT 2.5.2... and have hyperlinks in one report that drill down into another report.
web.xml
BIRT_VIEWER_WORKING_FOLDER = null
WORKING_FOLDER_ACCESS_ONLY = true
With these two values set in web.xml, the hyperlinks, when clicked, generate the error "There is no report design object available."
The BIRT engine is concatenating the value "../../../deploy/BIRT-portlet.war/" to the __report parameter for the hyperlink. If I remove the concatenated value and manually paste the URL into a browser, it works.
If I change WORKING_FOLDER_ACCESS_ONLY = false, the hyperlink is generated with a full path, and does work. Problem with that is, I've been told the full machine path will fail our internal security scans.
Is this a deployment, or server configuration issue? Any idea how/where this setting needs to be changed? I want the hyperlink to only list the report name... not concatenate the additional directory value. We really want to keep the web.xml setting for WORKING_FOLDER_ACCESS_ONLY = true.
We are using JBOSS.
Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to offer any insight.

Is the directory structure in your development the same as your deployment?
If it changes, that might explain why it cannot find the file.

Thanks for the reply. The directory structure is a bit different... I tried looking through the rptdesign file for the hyperlink relative path, but didn't see anything. <br />
<br />
My development directory (MyEclipseIDE):<br />
Workspaces<br />
-IRM<br />
--WebRoot<br />
---reports<br />
<br />
Deployment directory (JBoss with LifeRay portlet):<br />
deploy<br />
-BIRT-portlet.war

I think I've got it...
In web.xml... I've changed the BIRT_VIEWER_WORKING_FOLDER parameter to the FULL path.
The hyperlink is generated with a relative path, is no longer adding on the "../../../", and is able to find the report design files.
