Report on a Java Application (not RCP) [message #225622]

Hi...

I have a report generator working in a RCP application. For it I put the
following plug-ins in the Mainfest Dependencies tab:

org.eclipse.birt.report.engine
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.html
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.html

Is it possible to run a report from a Java Application (that does not have
a Manifest file)? How can I do it?

Thanks...

If you download the runtime there is an example of a stand alone Java
app that runs birt reports. It still uses the plugins but the app
itself is not a plugin. I am not certain if this is what you want.

In my RCP application I did not use the setEngineHome Method, like in the
BIRT RCP Engine example. But in the Simple Execute example it is used, and
set to a file system path. I think this is my problem (because I changed
my RCP code to use in a Java Application).

I did not understand if I need to deploy the Engine for my Applications
user alone and set the Engine home (config.setEngineHome method) or if it
is possible to "deploy" the Engine inside my Application. In that case how
can I tell my application where to find the Engine? In other words, I did
not understand how to use the plugins in the Java application like in the
RCP Application.

If you look at the stand alone example it has to set a BIRT_HOME where
it looks for a plugins directory. This is different than the RCP
example. You will also need to add the appropriate libs to your classpath.

Ok. Thank you...

Other question: I'm getting null in this line:

IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory)
Platform.createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_ REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY);

Can you tell me why?

This usually happens when BIRT_HOME is set incorrectly. The BIRT
Plugins can not be found.
