Web App Servlet Filtering [message #167439]

Is it possible to use the BIRT Viewer webapp to get embeddable HTML
reports (the sort of reports generated when
HTMLRenderOption.setEmbeddable(true) is called).

I'd like to take those reports and wrap them myself, without using frames
or the like. I could chain the webapp's "run" servlet in a filter that
would do the wrapping.

I did not see any URL parameter to do this when I was looking at the docs,
but sometimes, documentation lags implementation.

I dont believe there is a URL parameter for this yet, but
creating a Servlet to do it is pretty simple.

Thanks Jason.

Simple or not, no point in reinventing the wheel if not needed.

I'll roll-my-own.

Brent

Brent,

You are correct. There may be a way of doing this using the Reportlet URL.
I will check if this is possible.

Hello ,
I am not an expert in servlet chaining but I tried going through few of its
basics over the internet. I tried using a

RequestDispatcher.include("/frameset?__report=MyReport.rptdesign ")

But nothing is rendered onto the screen. It remains blank. The same is the
case with 'run' as well.
I tried using a 'jsp include' too for that purpose but with the same
outcome.

Can anybody of ya'll help me out? Where am I going wrong?

Thanks ,
Girish

Hi Jason,

Reading the bug report
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=110681) for the reportlet, it
looks like reportlets could work (in my case, I'd need to retrieve three
separate itemName's which is a bit cumbersome, but doable).

Unfortunately, I can't get the reportlet URLs to work - getting the "Error
happened while running the report" message in the body of the HTML.
