The source for the plugins is also included. This download contains the source code for BIRT for this specific build. All source is in plugin format and can be imported into a workspace to build BIRT. Additional libraries may be needed. Generally these will be the required libraries for a standard BIRT installation for this version.
The Data Tools Platform source code is not included. Download the source or binaries for these from the DTP project website. Sample integration code for reports and charts. The report design open methods return a IReportRunnable instance that represents the engine's view of the report design. Note that BIRT supplies many options for opening reports such as the filename or an input stream. Use the returned object to obtain parameter data or run the report. The class provides methods for getting report properties such as the title, author and so on.
It also provides methods for getting images embedded stored within the report design. BIRT optionally can store reports in an intermediate format, after generation and before rendering. This document, with the default extension rptdocument, can be manipulated with the IReportDocument interface. The Engine will create this document when the runTask is used. When finished with a IReportDocument, be sure to close it, with the close method. The Engine's openDocument method returns a IReportDocument that represents the intermediate report document.
The example below illustrates getting the TOC from the report document, after the runTask is used to generate the report. BIRT reports support scripting.
Operations that execute scripts require a scripting context. Report operations also require a locale. BIRT Engine tasks provide the framework for managing the scripting context, report locales and so on. In general, if an operation requires neither a script context nor a locale, it will appear as a method on the engine or the report design. However, if the operation does require these items, then a task class represents the operation.
For example, opening a design file or retrieving an image in the design file does not require setting up a scripting context. Other operations, such as retrieving default parameters, retrieving a dynamic selection list, and running and rendering a report, all support scripting, require a scripting context, and are represented as tasks. Create tasks using the factory methods on the ReportEngine class.
The supported Tasks are shown below:. Use this task to extract data from a report document. This class supports extracting data from the report document by specifying the result set and columns you would like to have extracted.
From the Viewer code dataTask. Use this task to obtain information about parameters. Parameter default values are expressions, and so a scripting context represented by the task is required. Parameter definitions provide access to the parameter definition information that the report designer entered at design time. If a parameter has custom XML or user-defined properties defined, then these are also available. Parameters can be organized into groups.
Your application has the choice of retrieving the parameters organized by group as they should be displayed to the user , or in ungrouped form useful for creating a programmatic interface. The following example opens a report design and iterates through the parameters and parameter groups.
If a List Box parameter is found, which is not in a group, the selection values are retrieved. The parameter default value is an expression, and the task provides the required execution context.
This task expects the document to exist, which means it has been generated with the RunTask engine task. This class renders the report, based on the supplied page range, page number or all if no page is specified. The following example renders the first two pages of the "Pages" report document. You will notice that it renders the two pages as one page of HTML. Use this task to run a report and generate a report document, which is saved to disk.
Finally got success few days back. Here are the steps for installation: 1 Get the Eclipse using Ubuntu update manager. Sudo aptitude install eclipse. This will give you room to grow as you develop your skills and offers the full Eclipse SDK. I'm trying to follow a guide on installing specific report designer tool according to report development guide. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations 'C:Program.
I can't import my reports and I'm wondering if this last peace of configuration has something to do with it. Notes:With the previous java versions there wasn't a security in java control panel , could my problem have something to do with that?
