BIRT setup in Seam?

[tonylmai]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone was successful at setting up BIRT to run inside Seam (particularly with Seam's deployment structure which is different from the BIRT Web project).

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Tony

Never tried it but shouldn't be that different from adding any other 3rd part libraries. Stick a bunch of JAR:s in the Correct Place(tm). And that place depends on if you have a WAR or EAR deplotment.

The viewer can be used from seam without being integrated in any way at all.

I am hoping to have BIRT embedded within Seam and not merely having Seam calling BIRT functions by involking the URI. This way I am hoping to leverage Seam's security features to safeguard my reports.

If I were to deploy BIRT viewer outside of Seam (i.e. /deploy/birt.war), I am not sure on how to prevent users from enter the URL directly from the browsers and get to the reports.

Embedding BIRT viewer inside Seam is quite a task (for me at least :-)) as I am not sure where things should be placed. I am trying still...

Start with the docs and keep reporting errors as they appear...

Hello,
I tried it (I hope succesfully) see link.
May be better way to obtain seam component in rptdesign is

<method name="open"><![CDATA[var reports = Packages.org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance("sampleReportList", true);
            reportsIterator = reports.getResultList().listIterator();]]></method>

(May be I will write more doc about it :-) )
