I know this question sounds very very stupid. But i need it in my web application. The requirement from my web application is that it should generate Excel reports, both with charts and with data. <br />
<br />
1) Birt provides very clean and neat excel data charts. However they dont support charts.<br />
2) Birt with Tribix emitters <a class='bbc_url' href='
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tribix/files/'>Browse Tribix - Extended Emitters for BIRT Files on SourceForge.net</a> provides excel reports with charts and data, but the excel cell width and height is changed and the data reports look extremely unformatted. <br />
<br />
The Tribix emitter JAR files needs to be placed in the plugins folder at compile time itself. There is no way we can add the JAR file dynamically i.e only when required to the classpath of the BIRT PLATFORM ENGINE.<br />
<br />
I tried several approaches and asked for help for 2 of my approaches @ <a class='bbc_url' href='

<br />
However I couldnt resolve it
.<br />
<br />
My final approach is the most non-recommended approach. I want 2 Platform folders. One of them will have the Tribix jars in the plugins folder and one wont have. <br />
I will use 2 separate BIRT engine classes to instantiate each Platform.<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>Is there a method in which I can have 2 Platform folders in my WEB-INF</strong>
