          Priority: P3
            Bug ID: 121222
          Keywords: regression
          Assignee: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
           Summary: [ORB] reports containing charts do not open in AOOo
                    3.4.1 anymore
          Severity: major
        Issue Type: DEFECT
    Classification: Application
                OS: All
          Reporter: frank.schoenheit@gmx.de
          Hardware: All
            Status: CONFIRMED
           Version: AOO 3.4.1
         Component: code
           Product: database access

Created attachment 79782
  --> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=79782&action=edit
document to reproduce the bug case

database reports, based on the Oracle Report Builder extension, containing
charts, cannot be opened in OOo 3.4.1.

*steps to reproduce*
- make sure you have a working Java installation configured in your AOOo
- make sure you have the Oracle Report Builder extension installed (at the
  moment of this writing, the latest available version is 1.2.1, from
  http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/de/project/reportdesign)
- open the attached database document
- switch to the "Reports" section on the left hand side
- double-click the contained report to execute it


expected behavior:
- the report is executed, a text document containing a chart is opened

actual behavior:
- an error message pops up, saying something 'about an failure to parse
  the report


*Notes*
1. The report can well be opened in design mode, but upon executing it from
   the designer, the same error pops up.
2. The report can well be opened in OOo 3.3.0, with the very same configured
   Java version, the very same ORB version installed, on the very same
   machine


=> adding regression keyword
=> setting Severity to "major", since this renders *all* database reports
   containing charts *completely* unusable.

Note: For some reason I do not date to think about, the very same bug occurres
in LibreOffice 3.5.x and 3.6.x, over there, it is tracked under
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48056.

There was a time when the OOo project cared about bugs flagged as "regression",
and cared about thing like "Oh, a complete functional area is broken" (in this
case, it's "reporting in database documents", but hey, who uses databases or
reports?), but seemingly, this somehow got lost. Very sad indeed.

Re comment2: We do care but somehow we ran out of database developers.

I installed the report build extension from the repository and can reproduce
the problem.  For debugging I would have to build the report builder from
source but configure.in lists a crazy set of prerequisites:
sac, libxml, flute, jfreereport, liblayout, libloader, libformula,
librepository, libfonts, libserializer, libbase.
Thats 11 java libraries just to build one extension.  And there is no word in
configure.in about where to get these libraries from.  Maybe the Wiki has some
information.
