First of all my congratualtions to BIRT team on BIRT 1.0 release,

Now that I'm using BIRT 1.0, I just want to ask if pointing to BIRT viewer
is the right approach to integrate BIRT reports with my web application
using JSP just like shown belown ? or we still have to wait from BIRT team
regarding the correct procedure regarding BIRT reports integration to a
web application...

//********sample of my jsp code *****
//********reportindex.jsp *****
<html>
<body>
<a href=" http://localhost:8080/birt/run?__report=Report\testrpt.rptde sign">
Test Report</a></body><br>
</body>
</html>

Thanks,
Wins

Wins,

I think for now the BIRT team is supporting viewing of BIRT reports
through the BIRT viewer application, essentially re-directing from your
web app to the BIRT viewer web app. One of the things that we are
looking at is the usage modes for how people want to include BIRT
content into their applications.

This could mean an RCP application, a web service, a stand-alone java
app. If you could provide some insight into your application and the
way that you would like to include BIRT content, it would be helpful as
we develop more BIRT deployment models.

We'd like to be able to run a BIRT report in response to a web service
invocation. Basically a session bean would call a BIRT API and then send the
HTML report stream back to the client.

Hi Scott,

Our application is a web-based accounting system, this is our first
project using J2EE. We use Jakarta-Struts framework for this application.
This is where we want our reports to be generated. Sample report to be
produced is Statement of Income, in this report user must input a
particular date..We want to generate this report using jsp where the user
can input the date either by choosing from combo box or by typing it as
parameters and then from there generate and display the report based on
the parameters input ....waiting for your help.

Thanks,
Wins

Hi, Wins,

Your usage scenario sounds very similar to what BIRT viewer intends to
address. BIRT viewer provides a UI for you to enter parameters, and then
calls into report engine to generate the HTML or PDF output. BIRT viewer
is packaged as a standalone web applicaiton. If you want BIRT to be
integrated into your web application, you need to use report engine
directly. Then BIRT viewer is a good sample application for you to learn
how to integrate BIRT engine into your web application. You will probably
be copying a lot of code from BIRT viewer to your web app.
