Server Side Paging

Hi,

I spent a lot of time, but I was unable to find a way to implement server side paging with BIRT.

Let me explain what exactly I mean under the server side paging.
I am using BIRT with Hibernate (via scripted data source). I design reports in the report designer and then simply use the report viewer application to present them to the user.

All works fine, except when report has a lot of data to show. When rendered on screen the report is showing the data page by page (with 20 items/rows per page). This is fine, but what I have noticed is that entire result set is fetched from DB/Hibernate and not only the subset that is necessary for the current page.

Is there a way to fetch only a subset of data necessary for rendering of the current report page (e.g. records 0-19, 20-39...)?

Thanks

Hi Bandino,

Did you get any solution yet? I am having the same question now.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, I did no find any solution for this. It seems that BIRT does not have a solution for this approach.
