Deploying BIRT to an OC4J Application Server

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to deploy BIRT to an Oracle Application Server.

So I downloaded birt-runtime-2_6_1 and unzipped it in my j2ee\home directory in the server.

After that, I deployed it indicating the birt.war file.

OC4J seemed to deployed it and the log file is ok : "11/02/28 08:50:42.726 10.1.3.3.0 Started"

But when I go to my server with //servername:8888/birt, it says : Erreur 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE).

After that, I copied axis.jar and axis-ant.jar in my j2ee\home\lib directory ans restarted birt. No change.

Then I copied itext_1.3.jar to birt-runtime-2_6_1\WebViewerExample\WEB-INF\platform\plugins\com.lowagie.itext\lib and my jdbc driver to birt-runtime-2_6_1\WebViewerExample\WEB-INF\platform\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.6.1.v20100909\drivers

I redeployed birt and still no access.

Did I missed something ?

Any help appreciated...

You should not have to copy iText at all. Have you tried just deploying the WebViewerExample directory in the runtime download? Do you get anything in the Oracle logs?

Thank you very much for your answer.

Today I deployed the new version of Birt (2.6.2) and still impossible to access the main page.

The archive is good because the sample "Hello world" worked on command line.

I think maybe I missed some important option during the deployment.

How do you deploy the WebViewerExample directory ? There isn't any war or ear file in it...

I've already seen this page and I made the advised changes.

The problem was in Oracle. The instance of OC4J I created was in a wrong protocole.

Finally I fixed it and now I can see the web start page of Birt.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Now another problem is when I click on "View Example". The viewer starts and crashes saying : "org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Premature end of file.".

I'm "googling" it now but if you have an idea... :unsure:

The problem was Chrome...

It's working with Internet Explorer so my Boss is happy...

When I have the time I will do some tests with Chrome.

Thank you very much for your help Jason.
