Has anyone gotten the XLS Emitter for BIRT working (can be found here :
http://qauck.wordpress.com/2006/01/24/xlsms-excel-emitter-fo r-birt/) in
the web viewer servlet? I'm running it under JBOSS and would like to be
able to output in XLS..

Any help would be appreciated.

Todd,

Yes, the XLS emitter should work well under JBOSS as well as other web
containers. But if you're using the default BIRT web viewer, maybe you
need to do some hacking(:)I'm not sure, but the default web viewer
servlet may have restricted the output format as HTML or PDF). I've
added an example on how to integrate the XLS emitter with standalone
Java applications. Just check it out here: http://qauck.blogspot.com .

Hope this helps.

Please try right click the link and select "save target as...". I myself
sometimes also encounters this problem. Looks may be a problem of the
hosting server. Also I've added an annotation for this in the blog.

In fact, there is a problem with Firefox.
In IE, we can use save as... with no problem.

I'm going to test this patch, because I've to do some reports exported to
Excel Files.

I have followed the mini tutorial in the web page :
http://qauck.blogspot.com/
but the view as XLS icon has not appeared.

So are steps which I have done :

1. I have downloaded the patch for XLS emitter.
2. I have move the directory of the plugins in my plugins directory of
birt-all-in-one.
3. I have downloaded poi of apache (the version 3.0) and i have put the
poi-3.0-alpha1-20050704.jar in the lib directory of the XLS patch like
this :
C:\Outils
Reporting\Birt\birt-report-all-in-one\plugins\org.uguess.bir t.report.engine.emitter.xls_2.0.0\lib
4. I run my eclipse all in one

So no icon of XLS view has appeared.

What I have forget ?

Thank you for your precious help.

I've found my error. I've forget to replace the three files in precise jar
files.

Now I've got the XLS icon for exporting in this format, but when i'm
clicking on it, I've got this error in the printing viewer : "Error
happened while running the report" in the first cell of the sheet.

I have the same problem with the export to PDF, whereas I have put the
itext jar in the rigth directory.

Thank you for your hopping help

Did you also have the prototype.js in the right place? You can follow
the guideline here: http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/build/#prototype

And also I myself found some compatibility issues to make the emitter
work with BIRT2.0.1(It works with BIRT2.0.0, but seems 2.0.1 changed
something). I'm trying to put a new package in the blog soon.

Ok, i'm using the 2.0.1 version, so it's surely why xls emitter doesn't
work.
Thank you for your help and i go to download the 2.0.0 version for trying
it because, I have to do excel report and i have to compare the render
with the jasperreports xls emitter.

I keep an eye on this topic and let me a message when the 2.0.1 version
work on it.
