Hi!
Sorry for my trivial question, but how to read an xls or word document
export with emitter?
I saw that openoffice open the xml document.
Could you please point me to some doc explaining how to read my exported
docs, if possible?
thank you very much,
Nico

I think Tribix was developed with 2.0/2.1 and hence there might be
some compatibility issues. I know some of the underlying protocols
changed between 2.1 and 2.2.
Are you seeing any exceptions in the log files?
Worst case, download the Tribix source code, and recompile the source
using the new protocols. The problem with this solution is that
Tribix code will fail building, and you will need to fix the code. (A
major pain).
There might be version converters for XLS to make the files backward
compatibility. I finally gave up on the issue, and told my end-users
to use a newer version of Excel of OpenOffice.
I can support the old XLS standard in an odd way. I generate all my
reports to HTML, and then display the results in JDataGrid by Extreme
Components. JDataGrid has an option to output to XLS. My end users
prefer viewing the data in Swing Table then HTML. The users can size
and move columns, etc.
Sorry not more help,
Malcolm

According to the Tribix README, version 2.2.0rc _is_ compatible with
BIRT 2.2. It should not even require a patch.
The instructions say to simply copy emitter jars into plugins directory
and POI library into /lib.
When I did that, BIRT Viewer would still generate XML files instead of
binary XLS. I think that I would have to disable the built-in XLS
emitter before the setup would work, but I do not know how.

No.
Thank you.
