Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with this issue.
I was not able to find much documentation on how to create a DOC file using the BIRT RE API.
I have a very simple stand alone JAVA application that uses the BIRT RE API. The code I have, based on my online research is:
----------------------
EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig( );
//Set the logging directory.
String directoryName=null;//when set to null, will log to std out.
config.setLogConfig(directoryName, Level.FINE);
//Start the platform to load the appropriate plugins.
//If using RE API in Eclipse/RCP application this is not needed.
Platform.startup( config );
//
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform
.createFactoryObject( IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY );
engine = factory.createReportEngine( config );
engine.changeLogLevel( Level.WARNING );
//Load the report.
IReportRunnable report = engine.openReportDesign("C:\\BIRT_MySQL\\test\\CustomersToEmployees.rptdesign ");
String reportName=report.getReportName();
System.out.println("ReportName=" + reportName);
//Create task to run the report - use the task to execute the report and save to disk.
IRunAndRenderTask task = engine.createRunAndRenderTask(report);
//Set the RenderOption to create a DOC file into the task.
IRenderOption options = new RenderOption();
options.setOutputFileName("C:\\BIRT_MySQL\\test\\CustomersToEmployees.doc ");
options.setOutputFormat("doc");
task.setRenderOption(options);
//run and render report
task.run();
task.close();
//
engine.destroy();
Platform.shutdown();
----------------------
The code does generate the DOC file. When I double click on the generated DOC file, the DOC file opens up and shows contents nicely on my Word 2003.
As another test, when I emailed this file to myself using gmail, and tried to open it using the Google Docs, I get the following error message:
"This file could not be imported because the version of this file format is unsupported."
I have opened up other Word DOCs fine within gmail without any problems.
Does anyone know if I need to set a version within the code? If so, how would I do it? Or, do I need to make other method calls?
Thanks so much in advance,
--Anna

Anna,
The word emitter uses WordML xml format. I am not certain google docs
supports this.

Anna,
The format is a word 2003 format and will not open in earlier versions
of word.
