How do I view/dsiplay birt reports in my own Web UI?

Hi All,

I am creating a simple Web UI where I want to display birt reports.

I am suing Apache Tomcat 6.0.18 as my J2EE container. How do I view/display reports within HTML without using BIRT viewer?

Thanks.
Sachin.

Hi All,

Let me rephrase the question. How do I display just a chart created using Birt report in my jsp/html page? How do I link that chart to deatied BIRT report?I am using BIRT 2.3.2. Any Suggestions?

Regards,
Sachin

Sachin,

You can write a servlet to call the chart engine or use the Chart engine JSP tag library. Linking will depend on how you deploy the report. Are you wanting to write your own servlet to view the detail report or use the Web Viewer?

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your response. Can you please share some example if you have any on how can I write my own servlet?

What is your recommendation on linking the report, servlet or web viewer?

Thank you.

Sachin.

Sachin,

Why not just use a servlet to call the report engine for both of them? Then for the chart(s) you can build them in BIRT. The chart reports can be buillt to only contain charts and then you can use the built in hyperlink editor to link the charts to the report?
