I am trying to integrate BIRT reports into a portal (based on JSR-168
Portlet Spec, JBoss Portal). Thanks to the example in the Wiki
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/Portlet_Example) I got my first integrated very
quickly. The problem: the result report engine generates an HTML page
including header and body tags. However I need only a HTML fragment. Is it
possible to configure the HTML output to be a fragement?

Thanks,

Anette

Anette,

Use
options.setEmbeddable(true);

This will strip off the html and body tags.
You should also be able to do this with 2.2 tag lib.

It would be nice to have a URL parameter similar to "embeddable=true".
We would be able to generate an embedded HTML fragment using BIRT URL
and wouldn't have to use the BIRT Report Engine API for this functionality.

You may want to look at using the new BIRT tag library. It will embed
the content using an iFrame. You can also modify the viewer to add this
parameter.

Anette,

I like the idea on having the embeddable as a URL parameter. Any chance
you could put it in Bugzilla?

I am using BIRT 2.1.2 and have modified the viewer in order to get an
embedded HTML.
I would like to have this functionality without any additional
modifications.
The following is yet another parameter that would also be useful:
output_file=C:\reports\rep.out
If this parameter would be present, BIRT would create output to the
C:\reports\rep.out file instead of rendering output to a browser.
This is especially suitable for non-html formats (pdf, xls...).
I have seen a lot of threads related to this functionality.

Adding these parameters is very simple because BIRT already has the
required API.
