How can I integrate a birt report project in a j2ee web application ?
It is possible to insert a report in one or more web page of a java application ?

Stefano,

This is possible. You can call the engines in a servlet
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_%28BIRT%29_2.1

Or you can use the viewer or tag libraries:

It is relatively easy to integrate BIRT into a Web App. What type of web
application are you using (Struts, servlets, JSF...)

Have you looked at using the JSP Tag library?

Ok I follow the Viewer tag library, so I add to my working web application a birt.jsp to try to use the Birt Viewer.

When I run the jsp , display HTTP Status 404, The requested resource (/Test_WebApp/frameset) is not available.

So it don't see my report that it have to display in the viewer.

In the jsp Body I use:

<birt:viewer id="birtViewer" reportDesign="test_fid.rptdesign" pattern="frameset"
height="450"
width="700"
format="html"
></birt:viewer>

test_fid.rptdesign file stay in WebContent directory of the web application.

How can I resolve the problem ?

Did you add the entire BIRT Viewer to your application?

Stefan,

You have to have the full viewer installed on the app server either in
your context or another context. In your case it looks like you added
the tag library but did not specify a baseURL attribute to an existing
BIRT Viewer on the same appserver. Take a look at this:

ok, so in <birt:viewer> tag I add baseURL properties, but what path must I use ? relative path ? Can I have an example ?
The birt.war is deployed on the same JBoss application server of the web application.

It is a relative path. You are specifying the context of the viewer.
For example:

<birt:viewer id="1" baseURL="/WebViewer"

height="600"

width="800"

reportDesign="TopNPercent.rptdesign"></birt:viewer>


Keep in mind also that the report design is in relation to the viewer
not your app. So in the above example TopNPercent.rptdesign is in the
webcontent directory of the depolyed viewer in the /WebViewer context.
