Cant startup the OSGI framework Error while running from Java application

durisetti

Hi,

I am very new to BIRT programming.

I have installed BIRT 2.5.2 as plugin in my Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers version 1.2.1
Eclipse RCP version 3.5.1 and using Windows XP SP2

I have created BIRT report and ran from eclipse it's working fine.
Now, from Java program I have tried to invoke this BIRT report and i am getting ERROR:


org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.BirtException: Cant startup the OSGI framework

and my java code where it is throwing error:

public void startPlatform()
{
try
{
config = new EngineConfig();
config.setBIRTHome("C:/birtruntime/ReportEngine");
config.setLogConfig("c:/birt/log", java.util.logging.Level.ALL);

Platform.startup(config);

IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform.createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY);
engine = factory.createReportEngine(config);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Logger.getLogger(SwingingBIRT.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, e);
e.printStackTrace();
}

Please help me, how to resolve this.
Looks like it is unable to locate OSGI framework.

Thanks

What do you have in this directory?
config.setBIRTHome("C:/birtruntime/ReportEngine");
