<p>Can someone tell me what their environment is? Java version, OS, App server, browsers used, etc? Once I get that, I'll take a look.</p>

<p>I can replicate this same problem with Windows 7, JDK 1.7, and Tomcat 6.0.37. The same version of BIRT Viewer Toolkit works just fine on Tomcat 7 so if you can upgrade to a newer Tomcat that could solve the issue right away. Otherwise, I am working to get my version of BVT to work with Tomcat 6 and will report my progress to the thread.</p>

<p>Ok I am using Win server 2003, JDK 1.7, and have moved from Tomcat 6 to Tomcat 7 and it now works fine.</p><p>So it looks like it was an issue with Tomcat 6.</p><p> </p><p>Thank you.</p><p> </p><p>Bill Clary</p>

<p>Keith,</p>

<p>Please try using the latest version of Tomat 7 instead of Tomcat 8.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There might be a conflict with the first released stable version of Tomcat 8, and we will need to take a look at replicating this setup and seeing if there is an issue.</p>
