JDBC driver in plugin folder

RohanKK

Hi,
I am using BIRT runtime 2.5.2 , earlier we use to copy out JDBC drivers to the plugin\*oda.jdbc*\driver folder.

But now I am trying to run report even after deleting these drivers , my reports are still able to fetch the data from DB.

So , isn't this mandatory to copt drivers to this folder ?

As far as I know, it's mandatory if you're using the WebViewerExample for instance and you want BIRT to find the drivers by itself. But if you've embedded BIRT in another application and you're providing it a connection, then it won't bother to look for your drivers. Try removing the jars from your classpath and see if your reports will run. I doubt they will.<br />
