Deployment error on upstream master (Win64)

[nickarls]

I'm trying out the Eclipse BIRT viewer WAR on upstream master and I'm running into a deployment error which might be relaive-path-related (Windows). The stacktrace is

Used to work fine on the 8.x series. The viewer is configured to log to a different folder since I has problems with logwrites causing a change -> redeploy of the war. The config parameter is

<param-value>../birtdata/logs</param-value>

this looks mighty odd.

especially as there is pretty much no AS code involved here.

Looks like it is problem in BRIT logging init code.

what does it use to get the path? servletContext.getRealPath()?

[nickarls]

I think it goes through

private static String generateUniqueLogFileName(String loggerName, String directoryName)

  {

    SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("_yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss");

    String dateTimeString = df.format(new Date());

    if (directoryName == null) {

      directoryName = "";

    } else if (directoryName.length() > 0) {

      directoryName = directoryName + System.getProperty("file.separator");

    }

    return directoryName + loggerName + dateTimeString + ".log";

  }

but I don't immediately see why there would be a difference between 8.x and 9.x...

Yeah but problem is before that i think. the "String directoryName" part comes from somewhere else.

how can I reproduce this? just download brit 4.4.0 and find war there somewhere and deploy it?

(actually that's 4.4.1 and not 4.4.0 but I'm feeling lucky that nothing has changed)

Open up the web.xml and edit the context param for log file location and deploy
