Upgrade to Birt 2.3.1 and log SEVERE: Not allowed choice any

Question

After an upgrade to BIRT 2.3.1 have a tons of logs:

org.eclipse.birt.report.model.metadata.ChoicePropertyType validateXml
SEVERE: Not allowed choice any

Any thoughts how to rid of them will be appreciated.

Answer 1

I found the solution. During the upgrade to 2.3.1 you have to rid of from links to "any" data types in all BIRT files.

IMO the simplest way is to delete all strings like below from *.rptdesign files.

<property name="dataType">any</property>

Answer 2

The error message in BIRT 2.5 for this situation is

SEVERE: not found choice: any

Very confusing, but the first answer is helpful.
