birt

I have multiple BIRT reports that obtains the data from the same jdbc data source. Is it possible to obtain the conection parameters (Driver URL, User Name, and Password) from an external property file or similar? MystikSpiral One you create a functional data source, you can add that data source to a report library that can be imported and used by all BIRT reports in your system. The source inside the library can have static connection attributes, or you can abstract them using externalized properties. If you want to externalize the connection info, you will need to tweak the Data source

Is there a Maven repository for BIRT 2.6.0 that I could point to? I'm working on it. See my blog for progress or try the first RC at http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus/content/repositories/testing/ . The project also comes with a set of tools to convert Eclipse bundles into Maven artifacts . No, there is not any. In our project we simply downloaded BIRT runtime and installed all required artifacts in our central repository, and everyone references it. I'm not aware of a public repository offering Birt 2.6. The only one I know is: http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/org

I am using Birt to generate reports. I want to use the same parameter twice in my where clause e.g. where date_column >= ? and date_column < ?. The '?' at this line is one parameter which points to a date (Report parameter). Adding to this in my next where clause I want to use a second parameter to find the date period again but in a different year (current year -1). I know that birt sees parameters and ? sequentially. How can I configure this? Simply add two parameters with 2 diffenrent names to your query and use the same source(Report-Paramter) for both of your parameters. There is no

I made a servlet that runs and renders a BIRT report, using ReportEngine API. The only problem is that SVG images (charts) are not shown in Internet Explorer 8 or 7. While running the official BirtViewer webapp they are shown under IE8 too. I peeked into BirtViewer resulting HTML and noticed this meta tag: <!-- Mimics Internet Explorer 7, it just works on IE8. --> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"> So I tried adding it by hand in my own resulting HTML, but with no changes. I also tried adding it through the servlet (which is the regular way) writing: response.setHeader

I need help in creating a BIRT report; the situation is that I have multiple queries but the report all columns should be grouped by One column for example (Operator) Like : Operator | Expr1 | Expr2 | Expr3 | Expr4 | op1 | ## | ## | ## | ## | op2 | ## | ## | ## | ## | op3 | ## | ## | ## | ## | How can i accomplish that ? I 'm trying to make the Operator separate data set and put it in the first column and add a parameter in all quires i.e (where (operator = ?)) to get the Operator from the current row of operators column..But I can not attach the parameter value in each dataset to a the
