Integrating BIRT with my web app and generating PDFs

GREG1007

Hello,

I'm new to Birt and I would like to create web application (Spring MVC) which should be able to generate PDF files using BIRT.
I created simple report using Birt that generate PDF files. Data source comes from XML file. So now I have a question: is there possibility to send XML data set to servlet, and then to create PDFs based on this data set using previously created Birt report (.rtpdesign)?

I would be grateful for any help and tips.

Sure. When you use the RE API you can get the appcontext and set the xml input stream like:

task.getAppContext().put("org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.oda.xml.inputStream", bais);
where bais is an input stream. I am attaching a report that sets the stream in script. Not the same thing you want but should give you the idea. In your case you should be able to just add the line above to the RE API code.

BTW you may also want to take a look at this article:

The above link from Jasons reply explains how to set up the Spring Beans for handling report requests, and how to create a View for BIRT reports. Read the article.
