Good afternoon,

A quick question, is the latest version of BIRT compatible with JSF 2.0?

I am about to undertake a port of one of my main projects to JSF 2.0 and am
very interested in what level of pain I am about to inflict upon myself :-)

Are you using the Viewer, tag libraries or the APIs?

Hi Whatty,

I found another thread where someone is using BIRT with JSF at http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.birt/msg03827. html and it looks like it is rendering HTML. If you are trying to embed the BIRT Report Viewer, then you may be stuck with Frames or similar.

If you need this more tightly embedded, you may want to consider the JavaScript API from Actuate where you can embed (and control) BIRT reports in a similar fashion to embedding a Google map in HTML using JavaScript. You can learn more at http://www.birt-exchange.org/wiki/GSG:Getting_Started_with_B IRT_JavaScript_API/

...or you can View Source on this JSAPI example page at http://demo.birt-exchange.com/jsapi/slider/slider.html

Virgil,

We are currently using BIRT successfully with JSF 1.1 but are about to
upgrade and just wanted to know if we should expect a drop-in replacement of
the JSF libraries and expect everything to work, or (more what I am actually
expecting) due to the nature of the changes in JSF 2.0 that it won't
function as expected and that the BIRT libraries will need to be brought
up-to-date before we can expect to replicate what we have done in JSF 1.1

We are several months away from having a V1.x running in JSF 1.2 so it is
not a critical matter at this moment, but we are expecting to start our
report development sometime in Q1-10
