How to deploy BIRT without an application server?

kunalashar

Please forgive the newbie question.

I'm attempting to use/deploy BIRT into my current web-based Java application. I'm using Eclipse as my development environment.

However, my application *does not* use an application server. Instead, it relies on JSPs served by a traditional web server (Apache) with backend POJOs. Ideally, I'd like my JSPs to gather data from form field variables in a browser, pass them back to the POJOs, which would run the reporting tool, generate an HTML report file and serve it back to the the browser.

Is it possible to integrate BIRT into such an environment? If so how? Is there a tutorial or a detailed set of instructions somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. Your Pojos will need to call the BIRT engine in a similar manner to the following tutorial:<br />
