BIRT Report viewer server side paging support

dsu

Does BIRT report viewer support server side paging? Any example available?

Thanks,

What do you mean by "server side paging"?

Here is a high level explanation of how pagination works with BIRT

1. The BIRT Report Engine generates a report document (.rptdocument). This file is a binary representation of a report including all the data and information to formart the report including how to paginate. Note that the rptdocument is not a rendered or user readable report format.

2. The report engine is takes the report document (this can be a persistant or transient report document) and can either render the whole document, or indivual pages or page ranges.

All BIRT viewers support viewing paginated reports. This includes the open source Web Viewer Example, the Actuate BIRT Viewer, and the viewer used with the iServer Express.
