error.CannotStartupOSGIPlatform BIRT 3.2.22

Hi,

I'm getting the following on 3.2.22. The background is I'm writing code to run a report, emit it as a csv file and attach it to an email.

I had it working before on 3.7 with the below but I have to make it work with 3.2.22 now for compatibility reasons.

public String runReport(String reportName, String frequency) {

//Variables used to control BIRT Engine instance
EngineConfig conf = null;
ReportEngine eng = null;
IReportRunnable design = null;
IRunAndRenderTask task = null;
CSVRenderOption options = null;

conf = new EngineConfig();

String confFile = null;;
try {
confFile = new File("../webapps/birtviewer/reports/lib/").getCanonicalPath();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

conf.setEngineHome(confFile + File.separator);

INSERT HERE
//Create new Report engine based off of the configuration
eng = new ReportEngine(conf);

//With our new engine, lets try to open the report design
try
{
String reportFile = null;;
try {
reportFile = new File("../webapps/birtviewer/reports/stores/store1/").getCanonicalPath();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

design = eng.openReportDesign(reportFile + File.separator + reportName);

I've added in the following on 3.2.22 at INSERT HERE to try to start it but same exception.

try {
Platform.startup(conf);
} catch (BirtException e2) {
System.out.println("platform startup not working");
e2.printStackTrace();
}

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Martin

3.7 has a POJO runtime and the older versions did not. The issue is probably that you need to set BIRT_HOME, in your code, for the OSSG Runtime.
