Hi,

I hope this is right forum to ask my question. As per my requirement I need to generate dynamic reports using BIRT 2.6.1 API, In Servlet when I run the report using IRunAndRenderTask.run() method report output is displayed without a frameset in browser. Please let me know the steps or API methods/parameters to display the report in a BIRT default frameset. Below is a snapshot of my code thanks in advances.



public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

//get report name and launch the engine
response.setContentType("text/html");
String reportName = request.getParameter("ReportName");
String[] cols = (String[])request.getParameterMap().get("dyna1");
ServletContext sc = request.getSession().getServletContext();
this.birtReportEngine = BirtEngine.getBirtEngine(sc);

IReportRunnable design;
try
{
//Open report design
design = birtReportEngine.openReportDesign(reportName );
ReportDesignHandle report = (ReportDesignHandle) design.getDesignHandle();
buildReport( cols, report );

//create task to run and render report
IRunAndRenderTask task = birtReportEngine.createRunAndRenderTask( design);
task.setAppContext(new HashMap());

//set output options
HTMLRenderOption options = new HTMLRenderOption();
options.setOutputFormat(HTMLRenderOption.OUTPUT_FORMAT_HTML) ;
options.setOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
task.setRenderOption(options);

//run report
task.run();
task.close();
}catch (Exception e){
throw new ServletException( e );
}
}

The frameset is actually built into the viewer using jsp fragments and
AJAX and is a lot of code. Why not include the viewer in your app?

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the response.

The reason for using the BIRT API is that report columns and there data content will be dynamically coming from the database so I need to add the respective information in the report.In my application reports can be a letter type or simple grid type and user can export data in different formats (PDF,word,excel ).I can use the frameset viewer but the problem is I need to populate data dynamically to the reports before it renders to the user.

Please let me know your thoughts on the above requirement.
