<p>I've searched the forums and can't find a straight answer. I want to put an alert in so I can see the value of a field, but I keep getting errors. Any suggestions?</p>

  • <p>I use something like this:</p>
    <div>
    <pre class="_prettyXprint">
    // Example of logging for debugging. Messages will appear in the error log.
    logger = java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger("birt.report.logger");
    logger.warning ('onCreateCrosstab');</pre>
    </div>
  • <p>Thanks, I'll give it a try.</p>

    <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">For debugging in OS BIRT, launch eclipsec.exe.  That’s with a “c” at the end of eclipse for “console” so that you’ll have two windows – one with Eclipse, and the other a command line window to see the messages.</span></span></p>

    <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Then, you can use: </span></span></p>
    <pre class="_prettyXprint">
    java.lang.System.out.println(“Hello world”);</pre>
    <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">Another option is to write to a log file like in the image attached.</span></span></p>
