When task runs to create an .rptdocument the following exception occurs for the Chart part of the document. Report table is created without a problem. Report chart is not shown. rptdocument is created in spite of the exception. Only without the chart. Exception: 23:41:59,312 ERROR [STDERR] Mar 28, 2011 11:41:59 PM org.eclipse.birt.chart.reportitem.ChartReportItemImpl serialize WARNING: Exception java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.impl.SerializerImpl.asXml(SerializerImpl.java:186) at org.eclipse.birt.chart.reportitem.ChartReportItemImpl.serialize(ChartReportItemImpl.java:266) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.extension.PeerExtensibilityProvider.getReportItemExtensionProperty(PeerExtensibilityProvider.java:316) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.extension.PeerExtensibilityProvider.getExtensionProperty(PeerExtensibilityProvider.java:276) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.ExtendedItem.getLocalProperty(ExtendedItem.java:219) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.core.DesignElement.getLocalProperty(DesignElement.java:1061) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.writer.ModuleWriterImpl.writeProperty(ModuleWriterImpl.java:731) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.writer.ModuleWriterImpl.visitExtendedItem(ModuleWriterImpl.java:1950) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.ExtendedItem.apply(ExtendedItem.java:136) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.writer.ModuleWriterImpl.writeChildren(ModuleWriterImpl.java:2907) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.writer.ModuleWriterImpl.writeContents(ModuleWriterImpl.java:2892) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.writer.ModuleWriterImpl.writeContents(ModuleWriterImpl.java:2926) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.writer.DesignWriterImpl.writeSlot(DesignWriterImpl.java:170) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.writer.DesignWriterImpl.visitReportDesign(DesignWriterImpl.java:78) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.elements.ReportDesign.apply(ReportDesign.java:65) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.writer.ModuleWriterImpl.writeFile(ModuleWriterImpl.java:317) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.writer.DocumentWriter.write(DocumentWriter.java:60) at org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api.util.DocumentUtil.serialize(DocumentUtil.java:63) at org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.impl.ReportDocumentWriter.saveDesign(ReportDocumentWriter.java:186) at org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.impl.RunTask.doRun(RunTask.java:214) at org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.impl.RunTask.run(RunTask.java:85) at com.FlashNetworks.HarmonyAnalytics.ReportsEngine.ReportsEngine.createsReportDocument(ReportsEngine.java:240) at org.apache.jsp.report_005fdata_jsp._jspService(report_005fdata_jsp.java:171) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:70) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:387) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:320) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:266) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:290) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:235) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:230) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:175) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:179) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:84) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:128) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:104) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:156) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:241) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:844) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:580) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:447) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
Do you have this issue if generate documents in All-In-One?
(In reply to comment #1) > Do you have this issue if generate documents in All-In-One? What do you mean, all in one? The report has chart and table. Table is shown. Chart is not. I will upload a design file
Created attachment 192067 [details] Sample report file
It might have been internal class loader (or otherwise) problem. Reports were initialized from within a Quartz job. However, when I moved the initialization elsewhere the problem was solved. This is strange since my Quartz is configured to use "caller's" classloader. I'm using JBoss 4.2
Have you tried with Jboss 5.0? Since Jboss 4.x is no longer in the SPM matrix of BIRT since 2.6

I also noticed that you filed another bug #341310, it seems that bug has relation with this bug. Do the two issues happen at the same time? Could you see the error logs again to find if there are another exceptions. Because you use Quartz lib and we haven't your running environment, we haven't the condition to reproduce those two bugs, could you use chart's source code to trace when the chart instance in ChartReportItemImpl is set to null? You can use remote debug by adding JVM startup parameter "-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=9000,server=y,suspend=n" for your JBoss environment, and in Eclipse monitor the remove port and trace the status of chart instance. This will be helpful for us to look into the root cause. Thanks.
Could you please try to use the latest BIRT release 3.7? see if it works in BIRT 3.7. Here is instruction of BIRT 3.7 http://wiki.eclipse.org/BIRT_3.7_Runtime_Deployment_Guide
