Birt upgrade 4.3 to 4.5 Error in BirtStr.trim function
rajasundaram
<p>We use <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:'courier new';">BirtStr.trim function in all our reports and it is failing on 4.5 (Eclipse Mars).</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:'courier new';">Stack trace:</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:'courier new';">BirtStr.trim(fname+" "+lname)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:'courier new';"><span style="font-size:8pt;">org.mozilla.javascript.ConsString cannot be cast to java.lang.String<br>
at org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.executor.ExecutionContext.addException(ExecutionContext.java:1245)<br>

at org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.executor.TableItemExecutor.execute(TableItemExecutor.java:62)</span></span><br>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This code works fine in 4.3 version (luna eclipse)</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>When we change the code to use the BirtStr.concat function it works fine.</p>
<p><span style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:10.6667px;">BirtStr.trim(</span><span style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:10.6667px;">BirtStr.concat(</span><span style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:10.6667px;">fname," ",lname))</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.6667px;">Effort of making code changes are really high. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any recommendations ?</p>

<p>Issue 1:</p>
<p>BirtStr - all functions</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:'courier new';"><span style="font-size:8pt;">BirtStr.trim(fname+" "+lname)</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Error</p>
<p><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:'courier new';">org.mozilla.javascript.ConsString cannot be cast to java.lang.String</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Work around:</p>
<p><span style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:10.6667px;">BirtStr.trim(</span><span style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:10.6667px;">BirtStr.concat(</span><span style="font-family:'courier new';font-size:10.6667px;">fname," ",mname))</span></p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you google the error message, you'll find out that with Rhino 1.7.4, now included in BIRT 4.5, Rhino has changed substantially how it handles Java to Javascript object conversion. I don't know of a workaround, except changing the way you concatenate strings.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>
<p> </p>
