<p>I can remove above error, by replacing viewservlets.jar with the old one ( birt run time 3.7.2 ). however some of the report not running properly.</p>
<p>What else I can check to fix the error ? Kindly help..</p>

<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">[Gry] I haven't try, but if i use BIRT 3.7.2 the deployment is success without error.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Exactly what steps did you follow to deploy BIRT?</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">[Gry] Build as WAR, and use weblogic deployment as usual, no special step</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does the out of the box sample report run successfully?</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">[Gry] This failure comes on deployment steps, so i havent try out of the box test.</span></p>

<p>For workaround, I kept the <span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">viewservlets.jar from BIRT 3.7.2 </span><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">and I remove 2 lines below inside RunFragment.jsp :</span></p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
lang="<%= attributeBean.getLanguage() %>"</pre>
<p>and </p>
<div>
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
<script type="text/javascript">
<%= attributeBean.getClientInitialize() %>
</script></pre>
<p>both lines are not exist in viewservlets.jar from BIRT 3.7.2, so I removed it ( this is the reason the report not running properly )</p>
