Standalone report server in the road-map ?? [message #80836]

Hi Develop Team,

I am interested to know if the Standalone report server is there in the
BIRT development road-map. Its highly required for high volumn report
generation application. If its used in the application server, the
resources are limited, generally, the report generation is more resource
intensive compared to other application process, hence the neeed of
independant server to add resource as volumn incresses.

Regards,
Davis

Davis,

I wanted BIRT to run closer to the database, and not on my application
server, so I just unzipped JBoss on my database server, threw in the birt
runtime war file, and was off and running. Has it been your experience that
BIRT has to be installed on the same server as the rest of your application?

Hi Floor,

No, I want to run BIRT engine in a separate server different from the rest
of my applications, so that I can increase the resource as the volumn of
regeneration and concurrent users increases.

Davis

Cool, sounds like a good plan to me. All I'm saying is that you can already
install BIRT on any server you want. In other words, you can run the BIRT
engine in a seperate server different from the rest of your applications. I
guess there is no "BIRT Server Edition" where they just package it
differently so they can charge you a whole bunch more like commercial
applications do, but I guess I don't have a problem with that!

I believe floor is on the right track with this. I can see Actuate coming
out with a standalone server for this. At least first.

Anyway, there are so many ways this can be accomplished in Java and why it
so great to have BIRT (and Jasper... ). You can create a JINI service.
You can do what floor said - and use Web services or EJBs or RMI or
serialized objects over HTTP, .... You can use JMS. It really depends on
your needs and situation. So to create a server setup that meets
everyone's needs would be difficult.
