resource folder

[arnaudcz]

Hi,

I have already find how to set a resource folder for the Birt Viewer or the Designer, but not for the Report Engine.

Without this setting, the rep \birt-runtime-2_3_0\ReportEngine is the resource folder but i want to change it.

Does anyone know how to configure the resource folder for the Report Engine?


Thanks

My solution to this was to use an IResourceLocator when opening the report design, something like this:

        design = engine.openReportDesign(file.getAbsolutePath(), inputStream, new IResourceLocator() {
            public URL findResource(ModuleHandle moduleHandle, String name, int type) {
                File f = new File(resourceFiles.getParentFile(), name);
                if ( f.exists() ) {
                    try {
                        return f.toURL();
                    } catch (MalformedURLException muex) {
                        return null;
                    }
                }
                f = new File(name);
                if ( f.exists() ) {
                    try {
                        return f.toURL();
                    } catch (MalformedURLException muex) {
                        return null;
                    }
                }
                return null;
            }
        });

Not sure if the second "new File(name)" is required (or secure), but this works for me.

ResourceLocators are good, but may be overkill for this.  If you just need a
base location for resources you can:

    final String BIRT_RUNTIME_HOME = new File( "/path/to_birt/home" );
    final String RESOURCE_PATH = new File("/path_to/resource/home" );
    EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig();
    config.setBIRTHome( BIRT_RUNTIME_HOME.getAbsolutePath() );
    config.setResourcePath( RESOURCE_PATH.getAbsolutePath() );

Thank you for your quick response, but actually i haven't integrated the Birt Runtime into a Java application.

I'm just using batch or shell to launch a Java command on the Report Engine.

I think i will use the \birt-runtime-2_3_0\ReportEngine folder which is the default resource folder.

Thanks.
