Hi, I have integrated BIRT (version 2.6.0) with our web application and have had successfully started and generated reports on Tomcat (5.5 & 6) and WebLogic, but it fails to start up on WebSphere.<br />
<br />
The error is:<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>SEVERE The BIRT Report Platform threw an error: Can not startup the OSGI framework</pre>
<br />
The log file also contains the stacktrace:<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>

I have found <a class='bbc_url' href='
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/935218/birt-websphere-java-2-security'>this</a> post on another forum which seems to be identical to the issue we have. While the suggested solution here is to disable Java 2 security (and this fixes our issue too) it is not an option since other components of our application rely on Java 2 security...any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.
