Description Thomas Küstermann CLA 2011-01-10 07:27:46 EST 
Build Identifier: v20100915-1750

We are faced with a problem running one of our reports in our custom report viewer. Running the report using RunTask results in a NullPointerException. This error seems to be very rare but is always reproducible with the report. The root cause of the problem is DocumentExtension.add (line 117, 'latest' is null).

RunAndRenderTask in contrast is working fine.

Applies to Birt 2.6.1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the report using RunTask

No NPE when using attached report to genreate document with RunTask.
I'm using genReport under birt-runtime package to verify this bug.
