Sending Rendered BIRT Report via Email [message #564411]

Does anyone have an example of sending a BIRT report via email while also rendering the report as normal?

I have a situation where I need to gather a list of emails programmatically depending on the contents of the report, and then I need to not only render the report as normal but also send the HTML contents to all of the gathered recipients.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for this, Jason. I did see this, but it only contains the Java classes that send the email. It doesn't include an example report that actually uses those classes. Have you ever come across any example reports that use it?

Ah, I see what this is doing now. It's generating the report through Java APIs and then sending the resulting HTML output via email. I'll look at that more closely to see if it's a viable solution, but do you have any idea if it's possible to do something similar from within the context of a report? The external solution is not ideal because the report is being run from Maximo, and it would be better to have the report itself generate the emails, as opposed to a scheduled batch job external to Maximo.

You call call java classes from birt report events, so you may be able
to just call it on the afterRender event.

Hi Jason,

I can understand that this post is quite old and would like to try this Devshare example. Would you be able to share the latest link to access these classes.
