Integrating Maximo reports into Birt Viewer

Hi: 
I am running Birt viewer 3.7.2 on TomCat 7.0.29, and am attempting to integrate the Maximo reports into it. 
The problem that I seem to be having is where to put the files. Specifically, the mxreportdatasources.properties, the jdbcsql driver file, and the scriptlibrary classes files. 
 
I do have a test report running, and have changed the parameters in the birt web.xml file: 
BIRT_VIEWER_SCRIPTLIB_DIR=C:\\Maximo75Reports\\reports\\birt\\scriptlibrary 
BIRT_RESOURCE_PATH =C:\\Maximo75Reports\\reports\\birt\\libraries 
BIRT_VIEWER_WORKING_FOLDER=C:\\Maximo75Reports\\reports\\birt\\reports 
 
But I get the following error message: 
 
A BIRT exception occurred. See next exception for more information. 
Error evaluating Javascript expression. Script engine error: ReferenceError: "maximoDataSet" is not defined. (/report/data-sets/script-data-set[@id="5"]/method[@name="fetch"]#1) 
Script source: /report/data-sets/script-data-set[@id="5"]/method[@name="fetch"], line: 0, text: 
__bm_FETCH(). (Element ID:1) 
Error.ScriptEvaluationError ( 1 time(s) ) 
detail : org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: There are errors evaluating script "if (!maximoDataSet.fetch())return (false); 
 
 
Any help would be appreciated.

If you are using the POJO Viewer(Default) then you should be able to copy all the jars to the web-inf/lib of the viewer. I am not certain about the properties file. Jar it and try it in the web-inf/lib to. Reset the defaults in the web.xml

Thank you Jason!

I put the classes from the maximo \birt\scriptlibrary directory along with the mxreportdatasources.properties file into the web-inf/lib of the viewer.

It is now working.

Thanks!

did you have to jar the properties file?

Jason:

No I did not have to jar the properties file. There are probably a couple of configurations that would work the following is the configuration that worked for me.
I copied Maximo?s \birt\scriptlibrary folder to birt\WEB-INF, this included the properties file, and a copy of java class files.
I copied Maximo?s \birt\libraries files to the birt folder,
I copied Maximo?s \birt\report folder to birt\report.
I modified the BIRT_RESOURCE_PATH parameter in the Birt web.xml file to point to the birt\libraries folder.

Thank you Jason for help on this. I am new to Birt and will probably have more questions in the future.
