PHP JavaBridge: Getting no ReportEngine

takeshi

Hello,<br />
<br />
we're using BIRT 2.6.2 in conjunction with PHP/JavaBridge to integrate BIRT Reports into our webapplication.<br />
<br />
For this, we build a custom JavaBridge.war file with the BIRT2.6.2 files included.<br />
<br />
This war file works fine on three different combinations of Tomcat and Apache Servers.<br />
<br />
Now we installed it on another machine and it stopped working. JavaBridge runs, but when i want to get the BirdReportHandle it returns NULL instead of the handle. No error message is thrown. Anybody knows a solution to this problem?<br />
<br />
The code i'm using:<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
<?php
define ("JAVA_HOSTS", "TOMCAT_SERVER:PORT");
define ("JAVA_SERVLET", "/JavaBridge/JavaBridge.phpjavabridge");

require_once("java/Java.inc");

echo java("java.lang.System")->getProperties();

$ctx = java_context()->getServletContext();
$birtReportEngine = java("org.eclipse.birt.php.birtengine.BirtEngine")->getBirtEngine($ctx);
java_context()->onShutdown(java("org.eclipse.birt.php.birtengine.BirtEngine")->getShutdownHook());

var_dump (java_values($birtReportEngine));
?>
</pre>
<br />
Java Properties are reported correctly, so i assume the connection to the bridge is established. But $birtReportEngine = java("org.eclipse.birt.php.birtengine.BirtEngine")->getBirtEngine($ctx); just gives me NULL. On the other, working machines, the Handle Object is returned.<br />
<br />
Any idea on this topic is appreciated.

When tomcat explodes the war in the webapps directory you should have a folder like:

\JavaBridge2.6.2\WEB-INF\platform Your JavaBridge may be named differently, but you should have the platform directory. It has a plugins and a configuration directory. Look in the configuration directory and verify that there are other file/folders besides the config.ini. Whatever user is running tomcat needs access to write in this directory.
