I've been searching through the examples hoping to find an example of using
BIRT for desktop reporting applications. So far I've had no luck finding
one. Can someone point me to an example or explain how to accomplish this? I
want to call a report from a form and pass parameters into the report that
will be enetered into text boxes on the form.
Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill,

It sounds like you need to look at the Report Engine API examples that
show how to execute reports from the API.

One example here:
http://www.birt-exchange.com/modules/wfdownloads/singlefile. php?cid=2&lid=54

More here:

Bill,

I have created a couple of Eclipse plug-in projects that will allow you to
run all of the Runtime demos. It is still in dev, but if you have a Subversion
client, you can check out the code and try them out. I use Subclipse to integrate
Subversion into Eclipse, it can be downloaded using the update manager with
this URL: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x

My Subversion repository is:

http://longlake.minnovent.com/repos/birt_example

You should have anonymous read access. The projects you need are:

http://longlake.minnovent.com/repos/birt_example/birt_api_ex ample/ and http://longlake.minnovent.com/repos/birt_example/birt_runtim e_lib/

The examples are in birt_api_example. The birt_runtime_lib is a plugin made
up of the files from the Runtime download. All of the runtime and design
time examples should work without changes to the configuration.

I believe the AddScriptableObject in the reapi package should show you what
you need to know.

Bill,

Do you mean display the results in a GUI/Swing Client?

Form Input -> BIRT -> Result back to the calling client?
