Did you modify the framesetfragment.jsp, at all? I'll have to download the 4.2.1 runtime, myself, and see if I get the same error. You might just try redownloading the runtime, in the time being.

vladik

Hi,

I download runtime again from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/birt/downloads/drops/R-R1-4_2_1-201209181113/birt-runtime-4_2_1.zip

and problem is still

I ran across something similar to this when I did my install a several weeks ago (using the latest tomcat version and the JRE 1.7.0_03) and had to modify all the files located under the webcontent/pages folders and deleted everything that is shown below in all the files. Not sure why this is required as I had everything working on tomcat 6 and JRE 1.6 without changing anything (maybe it's something in the JRE code or with Tomcat).

Make a copy of the files first (always plan to be safe...), then edit the files and delete everywhere you see the below statements (all the files but 1 have these statements at the beginning of the file and there was 1 file where the last <! statement was about 3/4 through the file). Hope this will solve the problem for you like it did for me.

Vladik,

If this works, for you, would you post in here? Then, will one of you file a bug, for this, in the eclipse.org/birt bugzilla?

jamesniles

Michael / Vladik

I have attached a zip file which contains all the files which are located under my [pages] directory and which seem to solve the issue that you are reporting. I've included all files which you should be able to make a copy of what you currently have and then just copy the page folder in the zip file over to your system. When I ran across the same message, I made the correction to the one file and when I tried to access my report, I got the same error message again related to another file (which therefore I just went on and deleted those headings in all ###fragment.jsp files.

Hope this works for you.

vladik

Now is ok...

Thanks Jimmy !

jamesniles

Vladik,

So the files (and or recommendation) solved the problem for you or were you able to find another solution? I just want to be sure before I file a bug report with the Birt folks.

Thanks

Jimmy

vladik

Jimmy I use Your help and copy your files...than is ok

At official download runtime BIRT 4.2.1 is bug.

jamesniles

Great - I'm glad I could help!

I'm not sure it's just linked to Birt 4.2.1 as I believe it has an issue with all the Birt version if you are running JRE version 1.7### (and/or Tomcat 7.###) (I'm just guessing this is the issue).

Here is what I've got on my system (we are using the open source viewer with the Report Designer)

Viewer Version: 2.6.2
Engine Version: 2.6.2

JRE Version: 1.7.0_07-b11

Tomcat Version: 7.0.32

mwilliams

Cool. Thanks, Jimmy! Would one of you please log a bug report for this, at eclipse.org/birt, in the bugzilla?

jamesniles

I've already reported the bug as requested (and provided the zip file with the corrected pages)

mwilliams

Ah. Gotcha. If you don't mind putting the bug info in here, that'd be great! Unless it already is and I just missed the link.

daveelward

Hi, 
 
I had the exact same problem with Tomcat 7.0.32 with several versions of BIRT and a couple of versions of my JRE. 
 
It began working when I went to Tomcat version 6.0.35. So it looks like a Tomcat problem, not a BIRT problem.

Here is a link to the Bug reported to eclipse (not sure if it's a Tomcat, JRE, or Birt - all I know is it doesn't work with those configuration....)

I got the same bug trying with the latest BIRT Viewer 4.2.1, Tomcat 7.0.32, and Java 1.6.0_30

Based on James' solution, I did a replace all on the start and end tags to add a space <%--- to be <%-- - and ---%> to be - --%>.
After doing so, http://localhost:8080/birt-viewer/frameset?__report=test.rptdesign works
(I've also added this to the bug report)

--Update:
Seems this is a bug just with Tomcat 7.0.32 that they'll have fixed in 7.0.33
