Launching BIRT VIEWER in ECLIPSE IDE with apache tomcat

Hi Everyone. Can somebody help me to deploy the birt viewer in the eclipse. I am developing an application where I need to dynamically create the birt report, report output , and schedule them. For this i need to make use of the web viewer example as a reference. Please find the image for better understanding. I need to deploy this WebViewerExample source code in to my eclipse and i need to execute some sample repots using this viewer. birt-runtime-3_7_2birt-runtime-3_7_2[color=#ff0000;]WebViewerExample[/color] It would be great if anybody can explain this deployment with step by step instructions.

Hi Muthu, what's your eclipse version? does it match the BIRT version or is it different? Best way is to just grab the corresponding plugins and throw them into your eclipse rcp plugins folder. The webviewer is encapsulated in plugin org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_3.7.2.v20120213. You could also grab this one and its dependencies. Please be aware of the fact that the webviewer plugin itself doesn't contain the BIRT engine. Instead of containing it, the plugin defines dependencies to the corresponding BIRT plugins. Another option would be to download the birt source code of the plugin above and change its implementation to run the full webviewer (with engine)

I m interested in helping you. I think that i totally missunderstood your question. So just to get it right:You are developing your own eclipse rcp application and you want to integrate the birt webviewer into this application? Your eclipse rcp application is based on eclipse 4.3 (Kepler)?You are writing that you use eclipse ide for Java and Report developers. You use that version to develop your software but it is not beeing used as the basis for your own application (because then you would have a lot of different plugins that probably do not make much sense for your endusers), correct? So again:Are you developing a eclipse rcp application or just a java application? Please be aware of the fact that every eclipse rcp application is a java application but not every java application is a eclipse rcp application.If it is not a eclipse rcp application that you are developing:Which technologies do you use as a basis for your application? This link: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Rich_Client_Platform'>http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Rich_Client_Platform</a> is able to tell you about eclipse rcp and what it is. I m also not 100% sure what you want to do:As far as i understood you want to integrate the BIRT Webviewer into your application. So you basically want to add a button to your application that calls the webviewer and displays the report in a new window or something similar.

So after the report generation i would like to display the report using the webviewer. I want to get the sample java program to make this possible

Sorry i have to ask you again if you are going to develop a eclipse rcp application or some pure java desktop application or are you even developing a webapplication?

Take a look at <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/reportEngineAPI.php'>this link</a> it sounds like your wanting to build an application using the report engine to render the reports. You can also use the BIRT API's to create reports in your java application.
