I am haveing a very similar problem on a Tomcat server running on iSeries.
Tomcat 5.5.28
Birt Viewer 2.3.2
Report engine 2.3.2.2
JRE 1.5.0
I have included the Birt runtime renamed birt-viewer in $CATALINAHOME/webaps and the test reports work fine
I have created a report and drill down sub report and deployed them in $CATALINAHOME/webapps/birt-viewer/report and both reports work fine when when called directly using urls
http://iSeriesIP:8080/birt-viewer/frameset?__report=report/Customers.rptdesign and
http://iSeriesIP:8080/birt-viewer/frameset?__report=report/CustomerOrders.rptdesign.
However when I drill down from Customers to CustomerOrders I get an error 'The report file : /tomcat-5.5.28/webapps/birt-viewer/CustomerOrders.rptdesign does not exist or contains errors. not found' which is not surprising as this report is in the 'report' folder not in the root birt-viewer folder.
Does this mean that .rptdesign's can only be deployed in the base directory?
The only reference I can find to this problem goes back to 2005 where it is stated that the problem was fixed!!

I am a newbie to BIRT and need to develop reports using BIRT to be hosted on a web server. I managed to create sample reports and these work fine in the web viewer in eclipse. However when I try to host them on the web server (By placing the reports in the birt-viewer/reports directory some features do not work as they did in the Eclipse report viewer.
The issues are:
Charts are not getting displayed at all.
Drill-Through reports even the sample ones provided by eclipse do not work(It gives an error: The report to be drilled down to is not found)
I have checked the versions of the Report viewer engine and Birt chart they all are 2.3.2 .
Help!
