BIRT 2.6 and IBM WebSphere - "Can not startup the OSGI framework"

Hi, I have integrated BIRT (version 2.3.2) with our web application , it fails to start up on WebSphere with Java 2 security enabled. ..

The log file also contains the stacktrace:

[11/10/10 9:11:16:793 EST] 000003b6 SecurityManag W SECJ0314W: Current Java 2 Security policy reported a potential violation of Java 2 Security Permission. Please refer to InfoCenter for further information.

Thanks for the quick reply

I tried that fix and still got the same error

In the other post, they are getting different access denied issue.

I am getting "* : Access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission * read,write)"

JasonW

can you post the stacktrace?

Jason

Siva Raj

Sure, here is the complete stacktrace..

Are you using the viewer or the re api? If you are using the api are you using a PlatformServletContext? If you are this tries to create an instance of OSGi in the temp directory. Just wondering if this could be the problem.

Jason

Siva Raj

We are using the API.. i will try to create an instance of OSGi in the temp directory.. 
 
I have put the wrong BIRT version in the topic. 
 
We are not using BIRT 2.6. We are using BIRT 2.3.2 
 
Is it possible to install BIRT 2.3.2 in the Java 2 security enabled Websphere Application Server ?

JasonW

I believe others have gotten 2.3.2 to work in this fashion.

Put the was.policy file into the web application META-INF folder with following content : 
 
grant codeBase "file:${webComponent}" {

As this is the production server, our customer can't allow to give AllPermission.

JasonW

Are you calling the code above or are you using the org.eclipse.birt.core.framework.Platform.java class to start it up?
Can you give read permission to all?

Jason

Siva Raj

We are using the above code to start the OSGi framework.

We use org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter class to start

We can't give read permission to all, as per our customer requirements. They have very strict rule on that.

JasonW

Can you open a bug for this. I believe the dev team has access to an instance of WebSphere?

Hi

I have integrated Birt in my web application deployed in weblogic.
Birt plugin has many jars.
Is it possible to customize or reduce the jars because my application doesn't need all these jars.
or is it possible to use the plugin zip file ( which contains runtime jars) without unzipping it ?

Thanks

JasonW

You can remove plugins for items you do not use. Like emitter plugins, charting, crosstab items etc. You should also be able to war the ExampleWebViewer and deploy it.

Hi, 
 
I am trying to integrate BIRT version 2.6.0 to a prototype application and deploying in Java 2 security enabled Websphere APplication Server. I have used the following BIRT sample integration servlet as my base.. 
 
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_(BIRT)_2.1'>http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_(BIRT)_2.1</a> 
 
I created the EAR file and deployed in Java 2 security enabled Websphere Application server.. 
 
When i try to run the report, i am getting the following error in log,

Can you log a bug for this?

Jason

Siva Raj

Thanks Mason,

Could you point me to a link to open a bug against BIRT ?

From the following thread, it looks like, he was able to run the BIRT engine with java 2 security enabled WAS instance..

http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/forum/index.php/topic/20613-birt-26-and-ibm-websphere-can-not-startup-the-osgi-framework/page__s__bba98c3c4358fde62f99fb477955f271

Am i doing something different ?

JasonW

In your web-inf/platform/configuration directory is there write permission?

Jason

Siva Raj

Yes, i do.

I also have the permission set in was.policy file

permission java.io.FilePermission "${app.installed.path}${/}-", "read,write";

JasonW

Did you try adding
osgi.configuration.area=c:/birtconfigarea and make sure this directory is writeable.

to your configuration.ini and setting it as a writeable location?

Jason
