----------------------------------------
Hi Jacques,
Ok it took me sometime to read all the code, issues, and dev-ml and try to
understand what the problem is. I understood the following (please correct me
if I'm wrong):
# All *.rptdesign files were moved from the above mentioned components to birt
component.
# We have overridden the webapps for order, accounting and facility and
injected requests for BIRT reports using the normal webapp overriding mechanism
[mentioned in the
wiki|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Addressing+Custom+Requirements+In+OFBiz#AddressingCustomRequirementsInOFBiz-ExtendinganExistingwebappOnly]
# The reason for the error reported on this issue has nothing to do with BIRT.
Simply put, the order reports page (which is a PortalPage) has among the
portlets a report which only exists in BIRT and has no equivalent in FOP. So
both the report and the screen that generates it exist only in BIRT. BUT! the
PortalPage "OrderReportPage" in the database is pointing to a report screen in
BIRT. Namely, the "NBO_Report" which is loaded automatically when doing a
load-demo ant target. So you end up with a PortalPortlet that you don't want
loaded.
# One of the problems we faced is breaking the behavior of the context help
because it was redirecting to the BIRT component due to overriding the webapp.
So a patch was made to comment-out the overridden webapps and stop the faulty
behavior in [OFBIZ-5033]
# But the problem remains that we commented out the webapps from BIRT while
still extending the webapps with respect to the widgets (in the portal pages),
therefore, we have ghost widgets in a sense with no requests mapped to their
targets.
So, it seems to me like at least for this reported issue, the error is simply
ghost PortalPortlets which are loaded automatically with BIRT. When you comment
out the webapps while keeping the Portlets (by loading the data) you end up
with the error reported on this issue.
Now I have two questions before I comment on your suggestions above:
# Are we commenting out the webapps in BIRT permanently or temporarily?
# Am I missing another error that I am unaware of? Your focus seems to be
mainly on controller files, whereas I see no relation here to controllers. Am I
on the right track?
