Description Jim Garrison CLA 2010-05-25 18:27:48 EDT 
Build Identifier: BIRT 2.5.2

We are trying to deploy the Web Viewer in a highly security-restricted WebSphere environment that does not allow setContextClassLoader(). Since setContextClassLoader() is called in a number of places within BIRT, we are effectively prevented from using BIRT in WebSphere.

A quick scan of the source reveals 27 references in 12 classes scattered about the following packages

* org.eclipse.birt.core
* org.eclipse.birt.report.engine
* org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer

as well as some in UI components, which aren't a conflict for us.

I posted the above as a question on the Community Forums site (http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=168802&start=0&) and was asked to submit a bug, so here it is.

Reproducible: Always

Set version, added keywords
Comment 2 Wei Yan CLA 2010-05-25 22:20:29 EDT 
BIRT must invoke the setContextClassLoader to set the class loader as BIRT is running in the OSGi framework.
Comment 3 Jim Garrison CLA 2010-05-26 15:40:34 EDT 
@wei yan: I'm not sure I understand.  Are you saying that all of OSGi and BIRT are fundamentally incompatible with a high-security container that disallows setContextClassLoader()?
Comment 4 Wei Yan CLA 2010-05-26 20:18:25 EDT 
Correct.
Comment 5 Jun Ouyang CLA 2010-08-19 04:23:58 EDT
