Relative Path for connection Profile

Hello Everybody,

I am having one problem with connection profile. I generated a template using BIRT 3.7. The template contains the Libraries and Datasource(Created using Connection Profile). When I run this template at my location it works fine.

When I deliver this template to the other user then he need to change connection profile path..as he have. This don't seems to be good.

What I want is when I generate a template and deliver the report to the user the path for the connection profile should be set as per the need automatically. He must dne need to set the path for connection profile.

What Shall I do for this. I think we should use relative path..I don't know ...how to do this. Can you send me a demo example for this..if available.

Thanks
Ronak

Hi!

I'm wondering whether anyone has came up with an idea how to set up the connection profile for BIRT Reports to work with relative paths?

There are many topics about this problem but no general solution yet.

I was hoping the solutions from the post: http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/devshare/deploying-birt-reports/1298-development-to-live-server-using-connection-profiles/ may finally work but on my dev server it somehow doesn't.

I'm using jboss 4.2.2. and neither setting paths like ".\server\default\deploy\connection.xml" nor just "connection.xml" combined with BIRT_RESOURCE_PATH set in web.xml has work for me.

Only setting absolute path on Windows or UNIX server makes birt report load JDBC settings from the connection profile.

Any ideas how to make it work with relative path?
