I am trying to determine the easiest way to include
HTML forms in a report design.
The long term solution would be to have a reportitem
container FORM, and a reportitem INPUT. Is there any feature request for
this, which will allow Birt to be a great tool to change the data in the
data base instead of just reporting on the data?
I looked at the rotateText reportitem plugin and it does
not seem that it is possible to add reportitem plugin containers
(eg like the table, grid or list).
Then I thought that it may be possible to create two reportitems
FORM_START (that would emit "<form ...>") and FORM_END (that would
emit "</form>")
So what I need is to create a reportitem that emit a HTML fragment that
is not balanced. I have played a great deal with various different
OUTPUT types
- OUTPUT_AS_TEXT: The problem here is that the string output from my
report item get escaped (ie <form> becomes <form> )
- OUTPUT_AS_HTML_TEST: The problem here is that it does not allow
unbalanced fragments.
(It also does not allow unsupported tags which should be fixed in
Birt 2.1.0, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=114821)
Any clever idea?
