Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-4952:
----------------------------------------

Chatree and all, about

>I am not sure if the patch will solve other problems. This path is just helpful if a user want to use BIRT web viwer.

To be clear, one thing in your patch (disregarding it's usefulness, as Taher pointed out) that would be a blocker is the birt to order components dependency, through the order controller call.

On the other hand, the only solution so far, is to use the commented out webapps in Birt ofbiz-component.xml file. But those break the contextual help.
So I will implemented a way to make the birt to order dependency a loose coupling. This, by introducing a if-present attribute to the include element in controller.  Basically, when used, it will check for component presence (only component so far). And if not it will throw a warning rather than an error and a stack. The idea is to prevent showing errors in future releases, where specialpurpose will (so far) contain only the ecommerce component. The warning message will suggest to checkout the relevant specialpurpose component/s from trunk if necessary or to simply neglect the warning.

> Hello all,
> I have created a patch to solve a viewer servlet problem and uncomment the viewer servlet in the birt webapp. To do this will allow a user to use BIRT Web Viewer to render a report by coping a webcontent directory from birt-runtime-x_x_x/WebViewerExample directory and paste into the birt webapp directory ($OFBIZ_HOME/specialpurpose/example/webapp/birt).
