BIRT/WS Report configuration

Hi

I tried execute a BIRT Report configured with WS datasource.

Sample file is attached in the following link
Ref  : https://wiki.eclipse.org/Web_Service_Data_Source_(BIRT)

WS: http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx?WSDL

It does actually works in BIRT report viewer with the parameter. i configured the report parameter as well in RS [Text/string].

It continuously throwing exceptions. is there any specific configuration [classpath drivers / cf file configuration ...etc ] that needs to be done before it get executed ?

Thanks

Re: BIRT/WS Report configuration

Hi mahesh,

it looks as if the birt runtime we ship with ReportServer is missing a required plugin.
We'll look into this and I'll let you know when I know more.

Cheers,
Thomas

Re: BIRT/WS Report configuration

Hi mahesh,

further tests confirmed that the error is indeed caused by a plugin missing from our release.

Until we provide an updated release please follow the instructions below to manually add the plugin:

- Download the birt runtime libraries from
   http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/downlo … 150609.zip

- Extract the archive and locate the file
   org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.oda.xml_1.2.5.v201403131825.jar
   in birt-runtime-4_5_0/ReportEngine/lib

- Put the file into the WEB-INF/lib subdirectory of your ReportServer install

- Restart ReportServer

After the restart webservice datasources should work fine.

Cheers,
Thomas
