Sure just use the hyperlink builder in the third tab of the chart wizard
(interactivity) to point to drill through. In fact you can have a data
point have multiple drill through paths. I am posting two interactivity
posts I did a while ago, that show invoking client side script.

While you do not need these they should show you how to open the
interactivity editor.

Btw BIRT also supports server side scripting on chart.

On ad hoc reporting do you mean changing the report based on parameters?
If so this can be done by using scripting or property binding to
modify the query that is executed or by using the design engine api in
the beforeFactory event to alter the report. There are many examples of
this on birtworld and birt-exchange dev share.

On dashboards, you could use the BIRT tag libraries to do this?
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/viewerUsageMain.php#tags
If you only want to render one portion of a report say a chart put a
bookmark property on it in the design and then use the reportletid
attribute. You may also want to look over this post:

That was really helpful to me too, Thank you Jason

But remained one concern related to my current project, it is the fact that i should integrate reporting module with a web application based on JEE(Hibernate, Spring , JSF 1.2) architecture
is that gonna possible using Birt ?
