Michael Vorburger commented on MIFOS-4429:
------------------------------------------
Ha! - I did it again, we're (about to) squash this one as well. "Here is what
happened", as Mr. Monk would say:
BIRT is really... finiky... about the exact Rhino (JavaScript interpreter)
js.jar it needs / likes. Note for example the
http://wiki.eclipse.org/BIRT/FAQ/Deployment#Q:_How_do_I_install_BIRT_in_JBoss.3F
as well as "Q: How do I install BIRT in WebLogic 10.0" just underneath. Also
e.g.
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=tree&goto=368429&S=4255026e208db32e9d8bb125a45cce6c,
and on http://jira.pentaho.com/browse/BISERVER-2711 other folks who have
trouble with the rhino/js JAR with BIRT.
The Rhino originally used in Mifos when I started all this is 756883 bytes
large js.jar, see e.g. (currently still) on
http://mifos.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=mifos/head;a=tree;f=application/reporting/BirtWebViewer-2_5_0/WEB-INF/lib;h=79bd2c49a36328a96a01d28ef88e75d13abc4f42;hb=HEAD
On Hot Workspace 2.0, I had used a <version>1.6R7</version> of rhino:js in
http://mifos.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=mifos/head;a=blob;f=reporting-libs/pom.xml;h=f75f1c6d4b627ebf04d280c5fde7b959cc503768;hb=refs/heads/hudsonBuild-hotWorkspace
- that was a somewhat arbitrary choice I made 1 month ago (to the day!),
thinking that one was "close enough", because there doesn't seem to be a 756883
bytes js.jar on http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/rhino/js/ as far as I can see
(but I'd love others to double-check), so I'm not sure where the BIRT folks
took theirs from...
Interestingly, in mifos-webapp (application) pom.xml around line 250-ish there
is a the following comment: "This dependency overrides the earlier version of
Rhino included by spring modules (?). The earlier version of Rhino is
incompatible with BIRT. - [email protected]", forcing a rhino:js
<version>1.7R2</version>. But unless I'm dumb and tired, that doesn't work
either (the pages above say "known issue with Rhino 1.7", although it's unclear
which exact BIRT version that refers to). Before my Hot / Workspace 2.0 such a
dependency was simply overridden during build by the js.jar from (formerly)
application/reporting/BirtWebViewer-2_5_0/WEB-INF/lib... so... what was that
for?!
Safest may be to use the exact same js.jar as before, with a org.mifos.birtlibs
groupId like I did for the other BIRT JARs that are not available on Maven
central. I don't particularly like this, because if any other library drags
along a different Rhino through a transitive dependency, the circus will start
again.
I have manually tested all this blurb by forcing e.g. an
<exclusions><exclusion><groupId>rhino</groupId><artifactId>js</artifactId></exclusion>
</exclusions> in the mifos-webapp <dependency> of mifos-server-workspace's
pom.xml, and adding the "original" js.jar simply on the Java Build Path as an
External JAR, and got reports working in the workspace, with all projects open
(WAR not yet tested).
No code changed / commit yet, would love feedback from others. What's best
here?
