Deploying reports in applications without web viewer

SmokesMom

Has anyone deployed their own instance of the birt engine without using the web viewer using an https post command instead of the get command? We would like to use post to avoid the security issues of displaying everything in the url. If anyone has an example of this, it would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes, this has been done both with and without the BIRT viewer. This was supposed to have been fixed several BIRT versions ago, I remember since I reported the initial bug and posted a patch that would allow POST in the BIRT web viewer. I believe they went another route, but the result was the same. You should be able to use POST with the viewer now.

Regardless, yes, I have built my own viewer in the past that accepted parameter values via post.

Thanks for the reply johnw. Do you have a sample of the java code to do this?

If your just want to use POST to pass in parameter values, the patch I submitted should still be attached to the bug in the BIRT bugzilla. You would have to apply it and build from source. 
 
If your talking about the viewer I built, I dont have it to post publicly. Besides, it would be pretty big to post
