adding birt engine to java application

asilo1

I manage integrate birt with Jide/Jformdesigner application. Now i need to figure out how i am gonna start the engine and stop it. i was thinking of deploying in jboss and accessing the birt report but i am not sure if that would work at all. What would be best way to run birtreport engine and print the graphs to jpanel.

public class HtmlReport extends JPanel

{
JEditorPane myEditorPane = new JEditorPane() ;
IReportRunnable design = null;
HtmlReport()
{
initComponents();

}
/**
* Initialize the components.
*/
protected void initComponents() {
setLayout(new FormLayout("fill:p:grow", "fill:p:grow"));
setBackground(new Color(216, 228, 248));
startPlatform();
runReport();
stopPlatform();
}


public void runReport()

{
try {

CellConstraints cc = new CellConstraints();
setBorder(Borders.DLU4_BORDER);
// Open the report design
design = engine.openReportDesign("C:/Documents and Settings/AsilO1/workspace2/Tracs8.0/ReportAlarmSummary.rptdesign");
// Create task to run and render the report,
IRunAndRenderTask task = engine.createRunAndRenderTask(design);
HTMLRenderOption options = new HTMLRenderOption();
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
options.setOutputStream(bos);
options.setSupportedImageFormats( "PNG;GIF;JPG;BMP;SWF");
options.setOutputFormat("html");
options.setEmbeddable(true);
options.setImageDirectory("output/image");
options.setEnableInlineStyle(true);
task.setRenderOption(options);
task.setParameterValue("reportRunId", reportRunId);
task.run();
task.close();
myEditorPane.setContentType("text/html");
myEditorPane.setText(bos.toString());
// myEditorPane.setBackground(new Color(216, 228, 248));
myEditorPane.setEditable(false);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(myEditorPane);
add(myEditorPane, cc.xy(1, 1));

} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}

}

public void startPlatform() {
try {
config = new EngineConfig();
config.setBIRTHome("C:\\birt-runtime-2_6_2\\ReportEngine");
<<<<< I wont able to access this when my application gets packaged>>>>>>>>>


Platform.startup(config);
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform
.createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY);
engine = factory.createReportEngine(config);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

public void stopPlatform() {
engine.destroy();
Platform.shutdown();

}}
