Installation & Configuration
- embedded : This is the most simple operating mode. The moovapps-process’ application server manages the boot and the shutdown of the birt generating server (on same machine).
- standalone : from 2.0 BirtHelper’s version it’s possible to move the birt generating server on a different machine.
Usage
The point of this documentation is not to design a BIRT report, but to explain the file’s generation. We consider the .rptdesign file already exists.
To generate a report, code side, just call the createReport(File, File)’s method on the class BIRTHelper. Here’s an example:
var rptdesign = new java.io.File("D:\\hello_world.rptdesign");
var output = new java.io.File("D:\\hello_world.pdf");
Packages.com.vdoc.sdk.commons.backend.birt.BIRTHelper.createReport(rptdesign, output);This is the only front-end class, other generations’ methods are available (with DataSource XML e. g.)
