Hello All,
I need a help. I am not sure it is possible or not but logical there should be a way.
I have seen the BIRT Report/Web viewer which is part of the eclipse when we run the report using that in eclipse, it shows a toolbar for XLS, PDF and print etc.
BIRT engine gives a code sample for embedding this feature using JSP and Tomcat server.
I am using ruby and the web server will be WEBrick and for that i wanted to know, is there a way I could get that toolbar embedded in my ruby application.
Please reply asap, I really looking for the right direction on this.
Thank you so much in advance
Shivani

The BIRT viewer is a Java 2 EE app and has to be deployed to an
application server like tomcat. It uses AJAX and the BIRT report engine
API to run and render reports. It uses AJAX to do page navigation. I
am pretty certain Ruby supports calling java classes which would allow
you to call the birt report engine API to run the reports but you would
need to implement the page navigation, toolbars etc in Ruby or deploy
the viewer to say tomcat and then forward request from Ruby to tomcat.
