The problem while doing Birt report deployment


ChiChuan Pan (31143) | asked Oct 28 '09, 8:42 p.m.
I am trying to develop a report by using Birt embedded in JAZZ client. Everything goes well when I just use JAZZ data source, but it shows the rest error message when I use JDBC data source. Does any one know how to solve this problem?

Ps.I have added the related db2 driver jar files into RTC's class path.


Error Message:
Table (id = 118):
+ An exception occurred during processing. Please see the following message for details:
Cannot open the connection for the driver: org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.
Cannot load JDBC Driver class: com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver.

I still get the same exception. At first, I unjarred the files, added the db2 jdbc driver under the drivers directory and left the results unjarred (in a directory with the same name as the jar file). When that didn't work, I jarred the files with the db2 jdbc driver and that didn't work either. Any thoughts on what I should try next?

I looked in the tomcat work cache and found the birt plugin at:
/.../jazz/server/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/jazz/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.3.2.r232_v20090212.jar
When I extract the jar I see the following:
> jar -xvf org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.3.2.r232_v20090212.jar
created: META-INF/

created: schema/
inflated: schema/driverinfo.exsd
created: drivers/
inflated: drivers/readme.txt
inflated: drivers/com.ibm.db2.jdbc_9.5.0.jar

Yet it still didn't work. Then I reinstalled jazz and before ever starting the server, replaced the plugin. Now it works.

I´m using Wesphere. Where should I put the JDBC driver?

I´ll appreciate your help.
