Drill Through Using Absolute Path

zax

Hello,<br />
<br />
I know this is not a new problem. I have created many reports with drill through links and I have never experienced this before. This is exactly the same issue as: <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/forum/index.php/topic/22617-problems-with-hyperlink-drill-through/page__hl__drill down link__fromsearch__1'&gt;problems with hyperlink drill through</a><br />
<br />
It seems the absolute path is used rather than the relative path.<br />
<br />
If I link to a report, the hyperlink looks like this:<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>http://localhost:8080/birt/frameset?__report=..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fmedia%2Ftruecrypt1%2FProjects%2Freports%2Fpunctuality%2Ftest.rptdesign&__format=html&__overwrite=true&__svg=true&__designer=false
</pre>
<br />
When it should look like this:<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>http://localhost:8080/birt/frameset?__report=./punctuality/test.rptdesign&__format=html&__overwrite=true&__svg=true&__designer=false</pre>
<br />
The report links OK in the web viewer that is built into Eclipse, but this problem rises when using a browser. <br />
<br />
All the posts I see with this issue never seem to get resolved, but I really hope someone knows what is going on here...<br />
<br />
Many Thanks,<br />

As per normal in these situations, I have figured out what the issue was soon after making the post. I was using a link to link the directory in tomcat to my workplace directory in Eclipse. This seems to have confused things, so I will copy over all the files in future.

I hope this explanation might help someone in the future..
