BIRT Wicket Integration

I have a wicket web app that displays a BIRT report based mostly on the information found here: 
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://java.dzone.com/articles/integrating-birt-your-wicket'>http://java.dzone.com/articles/integrating-birt-your-wicket</a> 
 
This works OK, but it sends the report to the OutputStream and takes the user away from the web app. I would prefer to have the BIRT report display in a div or an iframe, but I am having trouble making it happen in wicket. Has anyone here done something like this? 
 
Essentially I have a page with a number of report parameters on a wicket page and would like the report to display below these parameters. Then the user would be able to just modify the parameters that are still visible and re-run the report. 
 
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi sfronczak,

I have not worked with Wicket, but here are some posts from the devShare that talk about integrating BIRT and Wicket. Maybe one of them will help you.

Another thing that might possibly help you is that you can embed the birt viewer into a jsp page using the tag library.

Thanks for the link. I ended up using a combo of the link I posted above and the info found here:

If you wouldn't mind doing it, you could document your BIRT/Wicket integration in a quick step by step article and post it in the devShare for use by others who run across your same issue.
