Problem creating .rptdocument file using IRunTask with Birt 3.7.1

juhi

Hi,

I am creating a .rptdocument using the IRunTask to ultimately extract data using the IDataExtractionTask, but i could not create the .rptdocument at the first place. Following is the code:

config = new EngineConfig();
IPlatformContext context = new PlatformFileContext();
config.setPlatformContext(context);

Platform.startup(config);

IReportEngineFactory reportEngineFactory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform.
createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY);

reportEngine = reportEngineFactory.createReportEngine(config);
reportEngine.changeLogLevel(Level.WARNING);

IReportRunnable reportRunnable = reportEngine.openReportDesign(reportDesign);

IRunTask runTask = reportEngine.createRunTask(reportRunnable);
runTask.run("C:\\Users\\Entrib\\codebase\\ReportDemo\\production.rptdocument");

Following is the exception stack:

org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: Error happened while running the report.

I got the same exception when creating a report in pdf format, which is a bug for birt 3.7.1 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=360699).

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Juhi

Looks like you are missing iText on your classpath.
Are you sure that you have removed all old jar's and added the new ones? Another cause might be that you already have a different version of iText on your classpath. When using 3.7.x the only chance is to port your application to use the iText version that is used by BIRT.
