| Storing reports off of the filesystem [message #202976] |

I am using the web viewer quite successfully but I now want to be able to
store my reports in a database instead of the filesystem.
I have been looking through the faq's and the forums but have not really
found an answer for the future of this functionality, the closest is the
faq's which state: "we are looking into possible changes to support this".
Are there any concrete plans to implement this into the web viewer
application or is there another known workaround to achieve this? My
thought was that a simple way to allow this was to create another
parameter that contains a report URL instead of a file path, this could
make the existing viewer easier to implement in other solutions
For example: __report=myPath/myReport.rptdesign
could also be:
__reportURL=http://mydomain/myReport
The url could be a static report, a servlet that fetches it from a DB, or
even created on the fly. Is this the type of solution that is being
considered?

Really interesting, but it is not clear how to do it.
Do you mean overriding the ViewerAttributeBean#getDesignHandle() method?!
Thanks, Paolo
