Description B Boose

2011-06-03 14:07:28 EDT

Build Identifier: 20110218-0911

Platform:
RedHat 5.3 64bit
kernel 2.6.18-128.1.16.el5
jRockit jvm jrmc-3.1.2-1.6.0
BIRT 2.6.1
JBoss 5.1
BIRT deployed as a WAR on JBoss server.  When user accesses a report with an embedded chart the application attempts to load for several minutes before generating a 502 error on the loading page.  Once this happens no other report will load, no errors are generated in either the server or BIRT logs. Server must be kill 9'd  (it will not shutdown normally) and restarted.  This only happens to reports with charts, other reports work normally.  The problem appears to be with the JVM.  When I changed JBoss run.conf JAVA_HOME variable to use Sun jdk1.6.0_24 instead of JRockit, reports worked normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a report with an embedded chart - report can be added to BIRT runtime or referenced from birt_home
2. deploy BIRT runtime to JBoss server
3. set jboss run.conf JAVA_HOME variable to an installed JRockit JVM
4. start server, access deployed report using firefox or IE(not tested on other browsers)
