But when i run the report using Junit test or java application stand alone, it's succesful.

Here it's a description of my application.

I use a java project to call the birt runtime. Then i have packaged it as a jar.

When i used this jar in batch or Junit test to run a birt 3.7 report, it succeed.

But, when i use the same jar in tomcat6 i get the error above.

Below it's the piece of code where there is failure :

EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig();
// Home du moteur
try
{
logger.debug("engine home, canonical path :"+getEngineHome().getCanonicalPath());
logger.debug("engine home, absolute path :"+getEngineHome().getAbsolutePath());
} catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
// config.setEngineHome(getEngineHome().getAbsolutePath());
config.setProperty(EngineConstants.WEBAPP_CLASSPATH_KEY, getScriptLibFileNames());
// config.setLogConfig(getLogDirectory().getAbsolutePath(), Level.SEVERE);

return new ReportEngine(config);

Please, i need help ....

Thanks

Have you tested your report from the designer in 3.7 to be sure that it's not just an issue with the report design in the upgrade?
