I try to embed the birt report to one existing J2ee web application by using Report Engine API.
We are not allowed to install birt on the server machine.
Is that OK?
1. I create the rptdesign files from my local computer which has eclipse birt installed.
2. put created rptdesign files, RE API jar, jdbc driver jar files and few configuration files
under one directory of the server machine.
3. add jar files (or put jar files in the application under web-inf/lib folder) and configuration files on the classpath
by modifying the batch file of the application server like web logic sever.
If I can not, what is the reason?

Thanks.

Are you wanting to run BIRT in a servlet or just as a command line app?

Take a look at this link:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_%28BIRT%29_2.1

Make sure to look at the bottom for updated code. Also note that if you
want to embed the html from the report in another html file use the
HTMLRenderOption.setEmbeddable(true). This will return the report html
without header and body tags.
