deploy the BIRT Engine within a servlet in BIRT 2.3 (vs BIRT 2.1 or BIRT 2.2)

aengel · July 24, 2008

I am currently trying to upgrade to BIRT 2.3. However I get into troubles when creating the BIRT Report Engine (in a servlet environment). Our code is based on the example given in: 
 
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_(BIRT)_2.1'>http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_(BIRT)_2.1</a> 
 
However when calling the line: 
 
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform.createFactoryObject( IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY ); 
 
then factory returns null. Are there any changes in BIRT 2.3 and how do I have to change my code? 
 
Thanks,
