I am getting following exception while running BIRT from a Linux OS.

Caused by: org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.OdaException: no protocol: /home/lsingh/reporting/tmp/execution1279514184559/TDReport.xml

where “/home/lsingh/reporting/tmp/execution1279514184559/TDReport.xml” is my XML data file.

When i looked into the code of “org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.xml.util.XMLDataInputStreamCreator” class in the BIRT, I saw that the exeception is coming from following piece of code.

catch (MalformedURLException e)
{
  throw new OdaException(e.getLocalizedMessage());
}

It means the code is trying to convert file path specified above into a URL and it fails.

So my question is how a non-windows path is converted into a URL?
should it be prefixed with file:/// ?

    Windows or not, all URLs to local files start with file://. That’s the protocol prefix.

    So your file would be:

    file:// + /home/lsingh/reporting/tmp/execution1279514184559/TDReport.xml = file:///home/lsingh/reporting/tmp/execution1279514184559/TDReport.xml
