Hi,
 
The quick answer is that you will not be able to embed BIRT Designer into a Web application to create rptdesign; the designer works only as an Eclipse plugin.
 
Your options are
 
1. write your own web application and integrate the BIRT Design Engine API to generate rptdesign from a web front-end (lots of work...)
2. take a look at the commercial offering, OpenText Actuate Information Hub (formerly iHub) which contains a module, Analytics Studio, that is a web version of the designer.
 
Hope this helps,

Hi Precher,
 
Thanks for quick reply .
 
1)
Do we have any APIs for web front for desginer ?
Do we have any open source products for this ?
How about RCP desginer , can we integrate this to web app ? 
 
2) On commertial offering ,
 is this tool is compatible with OSGI applications ?
 is this tool can be integrated to web application ?
 Where i can find the cost and licencing related information (didnt get cost info on site so)?

Hi,
 
The Design Engine API is the only API available at the design phase. It is used to create custom reports programmatically or create custom report designer tools. If you were to write a web app where the output is a BIRT Design, your web app would use the Design Engine API to create the structure of the report.
 
For information about the commercial offering, I suggest you can in touch with your local OpenText office by using the following <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.actuate.com/company/global-contacts/'>link</a>.

You might want to try by recompiling the Report Designer as RAP application....
