Is Paging Available If Don't User BirtViewer or Servlet? [2.1.1] [message #198105]

Folks,
I have integrated my BIRT reports into our application which is
written in Tapestry. I am not using the Birt Report Viewer. I am not using
a servlet.

Does this mean that I can't get paging to work?

Thank you,
Ty

Ty,

You can still use paging. You first have to create a rptdocument using the
run task and
then use a render task. In the render task there are two options
task.setPageNumber(3) or task.setPageRange("1-2,5");
There is also a call in IReportDocument to retrieve the total HTML page
count in a report.
iReportDocument.getPageCount()

Jason,
Thank you! This will take some doing to implement but it sounds doable.

Thank you!

Jason,
Do you have an example of this anywhere? I can't understand why I
would want to set the page number. Wouldn't that depend on the outcome of
the execution?
How does this cause 'back' and 'next' links/buttons to appear?

Sorry to be thick but I have tried to feel my way through the API but
it doesn't make exact sense.

IReportDocument document = getReportDocument( engine,
(String)pParameters[ 0 ] );
IReportRunnable design = document.getReportRunnable();
IRunTask runTask = engine.createRunTask( design );

Ty,

Take a look at this example
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Separate_Run_and_Render

The IReportDocument class has a call for determining the page total.
The navigation bars are built in the AJAX viewer. You will need to create
your own.
