New feature proposal: DEAPI IRunTask Interface

spulci

Hallo,

I want to contribute to Birt with this idea. At the moment IRunTask does not offer an easy way to obtain an rptdocument on a Stream, at least not direct as IRenderTaks implementation using HTMLRenderOption class. I hope that in future version Birt developers can provide via API a similar mechanism to stream the rptdocument file. I understand that the structure of the rptdocument is somewhat complex (it's a binary format, it's compressed and the abstraction to interact with it's to manage an archive with contenents and dirs).
But my need it's easy than interact with the file. I need the stream just to store it on a BLOB column on db to avoid a file storage (I need to control the cache using a db instead of a storage). Storing the output format in HTML, PDF and XLS is less convenient than storing the intermediate format itself. I can pay a little to render an output but I suppose it's a better solution than storing three different formats at least to limit the space available.

Thanks a lot

Simon
