From the online documents it seems that the BIRT report viewer requires
some type of webserver. For example, to integrate with the viewer in
eclipse you need tomcat. I assume that there's no SWT report viewer that
doesn't require a web server. What I want to do is view a report in an
eclipse viewer and perform some type of live update. Are my assumptions
correct?

Thanks,

Sheldon.

I also wanted to verify whether the BIRT report viewer in eclipse is
basically the SWT Browser widget.

Perhaps Sheldon is getting at the same thing I am wondering about. I want
to view a BIRT report that I created in Eclipse within a Firefox web
browser. I cannot (do not want to) run BIRT as a separate web app on my
webserver (Websphere). So I have a servlet which creates an engine object,
sets engine home, etc. However I am getting alot of errors when trying to
run the report in the browser. My main issue is where to deploy all the
jars and plugins that come with the download of the BIRT run-time library.

Stavros you have installed BIRT as it's own web app, which is great but
any documentation for those of us that want to deploy just the engine
within our own web app and to a server other than Tomcat?

Thanks,
Simon
