ReportEngine API html preview throwing EngineException

I am facing an issue while trying to generate a birt report in html format. 
 
The rpt works fine on my local (rpt designer) and using a direct link to rpt on my application(running on weblogic). 
The rpt also works fine when i try to generate the report in pdf format in all 3 ways (local rpt designer, direct link of the rpt running on my application, invoking the BIRT ENGINE API by using PDFRenderOption). 
 
but when i try to generate the report using the BIRT ENGINE API, the table part of the report comes up fine but the charts show up as empty. Is there something that i am missing ? 
 
The following is the error information

When using the engine what jars do you have in the classpath?

Can you try with just the jars in the birt runtime download/reportengine/lib directory? note that you will also need the plugins in the birt home but they should not be in the classpath.
