How will you integrate BIRT? [message #25593] Mon, 11 April 2005 01:44 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
We'd like your suggestions for additional integration information we can
provide on the BIRT web site (www.eclipse.org/birt). The site has an
"integration" section that is gradually adding information about each BIRT
integration API as the API itself becomes stable. So far, the site provides
information about:

* Installing the "Viewer" application on a Tomcat web server, and using the
Viewer via URLs.
* Running (and even creating) a report using a non-Java web-scripting tool
such as PHP that redirects to the Viewer.
* Directly integrating the BIRT engine in your Java application (skeletal at
present pending finalization of the engine API.)

In addition, a community member, Stavros Kounis, provided an article
(http://tools.osmosis.gr/blog) about how to integrate BIRT into an RCP
application.

As we expand the integration information on the BIRT site, we'd like to get
your feedback on the areas that are of greatest interest. So, we'd like to
pose some questions:

* How will you integrate BIRT?
* What is your application?
* What is your runtime environment? Is it web-based, Eclipse-based or
something else?
* If web based, using which web technology?
* What additional information can we provide to assist your integration?

Thanks!

We have some RCP applications where it would be great to be able to use
BIRT-features to build things like dashboard-type views of status
information. Basically, just be able to drive the charting components
programmatically to displays charts within an RCP app. We might also
like to integrate general report launching from the RCP app.

It would be cool if someone developed a shell Eclipse-based framework
for some of this. Something kind of app for categorizing reports where
a user could find and run a report. Also, maybe the user could save
the parameters they used when running the report in some kind of
private folder. Then RCP apps could pull this into their app to get
basic reporting running features and customize as needed.

We also are considering using BIRT reports as the basis for some kind
of J2EE-based reporting solution. Just looking for something like my
RCP idea, where user can select report and run it. And maybe save what
they did somewhere so that they can run it again easily in the future.

Would like to integrate with our J2EE web based application using BIRT's
Java APIs.

It is a IT governance (project management, resource management, application
management) application.

It is J2EE; completely web-based HTML interface

> * If web based, using which web technology?
Orion+XML+XSL+Java Servlets

1. How to integrate BIRT using Orion Application Server.
2. Example Java classes that shows how to "invoke/run" the reports through
Java?

we'll integrate birt in a Web-based enviroment, using
JBOSS+TOMCAT+JSP+Oracle 9i (oracle text, vpd).

The aplication is a data warehouse.

Hi,

I am looking for a BIRT preview like SWTJasperViewer in a SWT application
(not RCP). http://www.jasperassistant.com/jasperviewer.html

I have written no report yet. Perhaps is there a way to get the preview
part from the eclipse BIRT designer ??

JMi,

The BIRT preview is a web browser window. That window communicates with an
instance of Tomcat linked into Eclipse. A member of this newsgroup posted a
blog entry a month or two back about how to integrate BIRT into an RCP app.
I also copied the link into the FAQ. Take a look at that info and
experiment. When you figure it out, perhaps you can post your solution here
so others can benefit as well.

Thanks,

- Paul
