Hi All,

Here's my situation:

I am using BIRT 2.1 made available by download in the Rational Software Architect IDE.

I've created a Java project and a class that connects to a DB2 database, retrieves a result set, and stores the results in a vector, very much like the various BIRT tutorials that have to do with Scripted Data Sets. The class was created under a package, and I then exported this package to:
D:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70Shared\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.rep ort.viewer_2.1.2.v20070205-1728\birt\WEB-INF\lib

In BIRT, I create a scripted data source and a scripted data set based on that data source. In the 'open' tab of the script I put the following:

asset = Packages.hwOwnedAssets.BlueboxCandidates();
count = 0;
assetVector = asset.assetQuery();
assetVectorSize = assetVector.size();


In the 'fetch' tab:

if (count > assetVectorSize - 1) {
return false;
} else {
currRow = assetVector.get(count);
row["FunctionGroup"] = currRow[5];
row["ITGroupName"] = currRow[6];
row["LocationType"] = currRow[4];
row["Dept"] = currRow[3];
row["HWClass"] = currRow[7];
count++;
return true;
}

The data set has all of the necessary output columns. When I open the data set in the Data Explorer toolbar and go to 'Preview' the data shows up fine. However when I create a table and drag the data set elements into it, upon clicking the 'Preview' tab in the editor pane (where the Layout, MasterPage, Script, and XML Source tabs are found) the report does not appear. Instead I get this error:

Error.ScriptEvaluationError ( 1 time(s) )

What's funny is that this worked just yesterday and then all of a sudden it seems to have stopped working.

Any ideas?
