Dynamically generate something similar to .rptdesign

jimp

I want to dynamically generate binary .rptdesign first and save it into database. Users can retrieve it from database from web and view a report generated by this binary .rptdesign.

Can I implement it using Java? Please provide some examples and links. I appreciate your help.

rptdesign files are really just XML files, so the short answer is yes you can generate them, store them in a database, and reload them in your browser at a later stage.<br />
<br />
If you look into the report API, you will see that you can create a report design handle at runtime from the SessionHandle, which you obtain from the DesignEngine. What you do with this design handle is up to you. You could simply use it to view the corresponding report, or you could serialize it to the database.<br />
<br />
Look at the API reference in the reference section -> <br />
