When I try to upgrade an existing project started with BIRT 2.2.0 to BIRT 2.3.1, the application will no longer deploy. I have swapped out the report-viewer and report-engine code as directed in the FAQ, and upgrade the BIRT declarations in web.xml. The ONLY difference between a successful deploy and not is the Report Library: The 2.3.1 libraries cause the problem.

Here is my installtion summary:

Here is the stack trace:

Code:

This happens if the faces-initialization does not work at all - make sure that you properly include all configuration settings necessary for a basic faces application and that all the necessary libs are included. Also check the logging output of your web application and your container for any exceptions! If you did that and find nothing, the mistake might be due to the fact that you use some special web-containers which do not support registering context-listeners via TLD files and a context listener is not setup in your web.xml.

Hi,
You should take a look at this:-
http://www.myeclipseide.com/documentation/overview/technical/myeclipse_reports_upgrade.html

Thanks. I had completed the steps in the referenced document before I posted my original message. The problem remains.

tmccobb,

The error you pasted above does seem JSF related, is it possible that something else may have changed that causes this issue?

Quote:

The ONLY difference between a successful deploy and not is the Report Library: The 2.3.1 libraries cause the problem.

Could you please clarify - if you don't add the 2.3.1 libraries to your project (step 4 from the FAQ) the application deploys and starts fine?

Could you paste your web.xml here for further analysis?

Yes, the only variable in successful deployment is the library. As I wrote above, I swapped out the report-viewer and report-engine folders and even had changed the BIRT-related web.xml entries in my production project to the web.xml in the dummy reporting project.

Here is the web.xml (as it exists pre-BIRT upgrade):

The IllegalStateException apparently was caused by deploying the BIRT jars to the EAR wrapper instead of the WAR/WEB-INF/lib directory.

Now I cannot get the BIRT jars to deploy to the /lib directory unless I have 'Jars from User Libraries' checked in the Deployment tab of MyEclipse|Web. Seems that the BIRT libs should not be internally identified as a User Library. The problem is that I have a jar in a User Library that I need in the project for compiler support, but which I cannot have in the /lib folder at deployment. I have to manually remove it each time I build and deploy.

Is this a bug in MyEclipse, or is there something else I should be doing?

I think I have resolved my build issue for the time being, but I am still interested to know why ME treats the BIRT jars as a user library
