BIRT - .rptdesign has error and can not be run

Question

I successfully set up BIRT Viewer and PHP/Java Bridge and I can view/open "testWebReport.rptdesign" report got from this sample package through both of them like this:

BIRT Viewer:

http://192.168.0.90:8080/birt/run?__report=report/testWebReport.rptdesign

PHP/Java Bridge: Source/tutorial

<?php

define ("JAVA_HOSTS", "192.168.0.90:8080");
define ("JAVA_SERVLET", "/JavaBridge/JavaBridge.phpjavabridge");
$pth = "http://" . $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$path_parts = pathinfo($pth);
$imageURLPrefix = $path_parts['dirname'] ."/sessionChartImages/";
require_once("java/Java.inc");

session_start(); 

$here = getcwd();

$ctx = java_context()->getServletContext();
$birtReportEngine = java("org.eclipse.birt.php.birtengine.BirtEngine")->getBirtEngine($ctx);
java_context()->onShutdown(java("org.eclipse.birt.php.birtengine.BirtEngine")->getShutdownHook());

try{

$report = $birtReportEngine->openReportDesign("${here}/payment.rptdesign");
$task = $birtReportEngine->createRunAndRenderTask($report);

$taskOptions = new java("org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.HTMLRenderOption");
$outputStream = new java("java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream");
$taskOptions->setOutputStream($outputStream);
$taskOptions->setOutputFormat("html");
$ih = new java( "org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.HTMLServerImageHandler");
$taskOptions->setImageHandler($ih);

$taskOptions->setBaseImageURL($imageURLPrefix . session_id());
$taskOptions->setImageDirectory($here . "/sessionChartImages/" . session_id());

$task->setRenderOption( $taskOptions );
$task->run();
$task->close();

} catch (JavaException $e) {
 echo $e; //"Error Calling BIRT";

}
echo $outputStream;

?>

Now I create a new report in BIRT for Eclipse and then I try to run it through both methods but only the first one is working. For the second one I got this message:

[[o:Exception]:"java.lang.Exception: Invoke failed: [[o:ReportEngine]]->openReportDesign((o:String)[o:String]).

I already found out that it's not the content of the report what is causing the problem because it doesn't matter if I create a report which has a connection to the database and displays some charts or I just create a blank one - the result is the same.

Does anybody have a solution for this? It's really preventing any kind of progress in my work for a few days now.

Answer 1

I finally solved this problem by editing the following line in Eclipse "XML Source" tab:

<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.23" id="1">

All I had to do was to change version from 3.2.23 to 3.2.2. You can do that by editing the .rptdesign file directly in notepad.
