Error while generating BIRT report in Apache Tomcat

Question

I am new to eclipse and BIRT.

I am getting this error when I am generating report:

Table (id = 4):
+ Can not load the report query: 4. Errors occurred when generating the report document for the report element with ID 4. (Element ID:4)

I have google, but I am not getting proper solutions.

This is one solution I found

INSTALL DATA DRIVER FOR TOMCAT

Go to your downloads and open up the JTDS data driver and look for the jtds-1.2.3.jar file. This is the same file we copied earlier to the Eclipse folder. Copy it to

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\Birt-Viewer\WEBINF\ platform\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.5.0.v20090605\drivers

If the org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.5.0.v20090605\drivers folder does not exist, simply create it.

INSTALL YOUR REPORT UNDER TOMCAT

Now go and get the report you created earlier, AddressReport.rptdesign from the place you saved it to e.g. C:\BIRT\ AddressReport.rptdesign and copy it to the Tomcat web server, into the C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\Birt-Viewer folder.

However, I don't have folder platform\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.5.0.v20090605\drivers (as specified in the bolded part above) on my computer.

What should I do?

I know it's old, but if someone else get stuck at this. You need to put it inside de "lib" folder, instead of the "platform/plugins". Older versions use "platform/plugins", newer use "lib".
