Utilizing .rptlibrary files

Hopefully I explain myself well, and am on the correct forum to receive help.I think that I have 2 separate issues here, but am not really sure. 1. I have a developer that wants to upload a library file directly to the BIRT application, not using the PowerReport UI. He wants to be able to share components between all reports.He sent me this link, but it was confusing. I am running on Linux.<a class="" href="http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/59929/">http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/59929/</a> 2. I am going to attach screen shots. My developer has a report, that he created, called "Inline Test". When he selects that report and then clicks on the "Project" drop down, he is expecting to see all of the Jira projects listed, but he is not.I have my birt.xml and dbconfig.xml configured already:
birt.xml:<Resource name="jdbc/JiraDS" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
username=""
password=""
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jiradb?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF8&sessionVariables=storage_engine=InnoDB" dbconfig.xml:
<url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jiradb?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF8&sessionVariables=storage_engine=InnoDB</url>
<driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
<username></username>
<password></password>
<pool-size>15</pool-size>
<validation-query>select 1</validation-query>
</jdbc-datasource>

Unless you've changed the web.xml setting of where the resource folder is, the .rptlibrary needs to be in a relative path to the root folder of the web viewer that is the same as the path defined in the design. If when designing the report in the designer, the library was in a folder called "libraries", this folder would need to be created in the root of the web viewer to create the same path that the design is expecting to find the library at.

For the second question, what is there in the projects drop down? Is there any filtering or parameterizing of the dataset that backs the dynamic parameter? If so, that might be the cause.

Hope this helps.

I am trying to make sure that I understand your response;I followed the BIRT instructions to edit the web.xml file, as follows:[font="'times new roman', serif;"]Unzip the BIRT Viewer WAR file[/font][font="'times new roman', serif;"][color=#333333;]Edit the [/color][/font][font="'courier new';"]web.xml[/font][color=#333333;][font="'times new roman', serif;"] file located in [/color][/font][font="'courier new';"]BIRT_RUNTIME/WebViewerExample/WEB-INF[/font][color=#333333;][font="'times new roman', serif;"] directory and customize it as follows :[/color][/font][color=#333333;][font="'times new roman', serif;"]Find the parameters [/color][/font][color=#333333;][font="'courier new';"]BIRT_VIEWER_WORKING_FOLDER[/color][/font][color=#333333;][font="'times new roman', serif;"] and [/color][/font][color=#333333;][font="'courier new';"]BIRT_RESOURCE_PATH[/color][/font][color=#333333;][font="'times new roman', serif;"], and set their value to [/color][/font][color=#333333;][font="'courier new';"]PWR_HOME[/color][/font][color=#333333;][font="'times new roman', serif;"] directory path[/color][/font][color=#333333;]Find the parameter [/color]BIRT_VIEWER_DOCUMENT_FOLDER[color=#333333;] and set the value to the path to [/color]BIRT_DOCUMENTS[color=#333333;] directory[/color] Are you saying that the .rptlibrary file needs to be in the BIRT_RESOURCE_PATH directory?

I figured it out. I had to sit and think about what you said for a min, then it made sense. Thanks much!

Sorry. I can be confusing sometimes.
