[news.eclipse.birt] Re: how to use birt.library in a webapp

[juergen.leeb@xxxxxx (Juergen Leeb)]

I have solved the problem. 
When desinging the report I insert the data source with drag and drop from 
the Libray Explorer to the report desgin.

In the XML source of the report I got:

<list-property name="libraries">
       <structure>
           <property 
name="fileName">WebContent/reports/my.rptlibrary</property>
           <property name="namespace">My</property>
       </structure>
</list-property>

The property fileName is OK when I work on the local filesystem.
As a webapp the lib is located on the root path directly.

I changed the fileName property to "reports/my.rptlibrary" and it works 
now.

But is there an other (better) solution?
