Reports do not show up

[antapos]

No BIRT report can be shown in the UI of abs-webapp.

Steps to reproduce:

• follow the instructions in the README to checkout main project and git submodules
• setup the postgres database using the db properties shown in abs-webapp/src/main/resources/application.properties
• run the web app using ./gradlew tomcatRun
• open a chrome web browser and open the devtools and the network tab
• login using admin/admin and visit the URL: http://localhost:8080/abs-webapp/#/ds/hr.root.employee/edit/13
• press the 'Print CV' button
• in the network tab of Chrome devtools it shows an error like the following:

HTTP 404 while trying to perform HTTP GET on URL:
http://localhost:8080/birt/frameset?__report=report/Employee.rptdesign&DBName=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/axelor-business-suite&UserName=axelor&Password=*****&__format=pdf&Locale=en&EmployeeId=13

First , I installed a tomcat 7.x . then ran ./gradlew war from your project. copied the abs-webappxxx.war from buld/lib to my /opt/tomcat7/webapps/abs-webapp.war . then downloaded the birt-4.4.1 runtime engine. After unzipping it, I copied the birt.war into /opt/tomcat7/webapps also. I also copied the jdbc driver from postgresql to /opt/tomcat7/lib .

And then, here is the funny part, I was playing with
http://localhost:8080/abs-webapp/#/ds/sc.root.sale.customers/edit/14
Print Informations button, so I had to copy the file Partner.rptdesign , from my source code to the birt/report`` directory Birt Report Engine 4.4.1 download link http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/birt/downloads/drops/R-R1-4_4_1-201409161320/birt-runtime-4_4_1-20140916.zip&mirror_id=576 ```

TODO: Play with the application.properties inside abs-webapp to relocate the reports. Secondly I wonder why axelor gradle build doesn't copy the reports from resource/reports, I had to copy it manually.

Hope this guide you to something, I am still playing around with Axelor adk.

Now (master branch), the application can manage embedded and external Birt engine.

The objective is to simplify the application deployment.

A new parameter has been added in the applications.properties file (axelor.report.use.embedded.engine), to select the report engine. Default is to use embedded Birt engine.

With embedded Birt, there is nothing to do.
