hi seniors

i am trying to deploy a BIRT 2.3 designed report on tomcat 5.5 using web viewer and Mysql as the database behind....
i have placed my .rptdesign files in the report folder of the web viwer on the Tomcat and trying to call them from the application manager on the server...
i get the following error.......

org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: An exception occurred during processing.
Cannot open the connection for the driver: org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.
Cannot load JDBC Driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.

Chait,

Are you using a scripted data source or a BIRT JDBC data source?
For a scripted data source, your mysql connector should be in the common/lib directory of your apache distribution, but if you are using a BIRT JDBC data source, your mysql jar should be in the WEB-INF/platform/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_<VERSION>/drivers directory of your web viewer installation.

Good luck,

Keith
