Hi all,
I've looked through BIRT tutorials for report api and it always begin with
some code for running birt runtime.
But I'm in an \"Eclipse plug-in\" context, so i would like to know if it's
possible to use the Report Api directly.
Considering my eclipse configuration 'could' all the librairies needed, i'd
like to do something like this:
ReportEngine engine =
$methodForPluginLookup.get(\"org.eclipse.birt.....\").createEngineFactory();
and then use the api like the tutorial.
My goal is to make a way to, programmaticaly, open a report or a report
template,
then create/change the datasource and datasets to be able to run a report
generation but with any input source I want from a kind of pipeline.
A scenario could look like this:
BIRT Designer User:
-> predefine Report/ReportTemplate R
Lambda Eclipse User:
-> Select an xml file X
-> Then run my plugin action to create specific generated report for X and
R without using the BIRT Designer to bind data sources.
Thanks in advance, I hope i'm not asking stupid things or bending BIRT too
much.
