NPE while opening report file
minthril
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Recently I created report in eclipse Kelper (4.3.2) with BIRT things installed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In dynamic web project I created report for customer - privacy policy - can not attach it, but it is simple.</p>
<p>It has:</p>
<p>1 database connection</p>
<p>2 data sets</p>
<p>1 grid</p>
<p>2 tables</p>
<p>1 chart</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and added some scripts to check if startDate and endDate is higher than 31 days or not - according this some of above parts will be visible or not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everything works fine when I design it. Even "View Report" shows results that makes me happy about completed work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But when I shut down Eclipse, start it again and want to open report design then no design shows - only information about NullPointerException appears </p>
<p> </p>

<p>I found the issue (but it is weird)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do not know why but changing in Master Page format of report page to A3 causes it. When I change to A3 format I can design and so on. But when I close this report, change Eclipse perspective to "Java EE" and then choose ths report again then I get this errors. The same result I get in BIRT report designer. Even in situation when I have blank report and just change format to A3 - close report and reopen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Could someone make test like this in Eclipse (with Birt and Java EE perspective):</p>
<p>- in any web project add report (in Java EE perspective)</p>
<p>- open this report and change its format from letter to A3 (Birt perspective)</p>
<p>- close this report, change to "Java EE" perspective</p>
<p>- open report again</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I doubt that is Eclipse&BIRT issue but I would like to confirmation from anyone. If that works so problem is in my java.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
