<p>If you have everything from the WEB-INF/lib folder, you should have everything you need as far as JARs go. Are you using the POJO runtime or the OSGi runtime? What is your setup? What Java version are you using? What OS?</p>

<p>I think it is POJO runtime(Downloaded from : <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/birt/downloads/drops/R-R1-4_4_1-201409161320/birt-runtime-4_4_1-20140916.zip'>http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/birt/downloads/drops/R-R1-4_4_1-201409161320/birt-runtime-4_4_1-20140916.zip</a>). I used Birtruntime for copying lib folder into my project. Really, there is no connection / link in between my project and BIRT runtime. I think Birt runtime is embedded into my project when copied ReportEngine/lib into my WEB-INF/lib. correct ? </p>

<p>Can you give me any more specifics on your web project so I can try to set something up? Maybe you could set up a simple example and attach it here?</p>

Can anybody have a solution for it.
I am also getting the same exception
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: Report engine fails to initialize org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.html emitter, please make sure required libraries for this emitter are installed.

code is failing at

if(config != null)
{
Object object = createObject(config, "class");
if(object instanceof IContentEmitter)

         return (IContentEmitter)object;

   }
  return null;

object is of type org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.html.HTMLReportEmitter, hence returing null
