[birt-news] BIRT_HOME location

prateek3.14@xxxxxxx (Prateek Sharma) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:04:21 GMT

Hi all,
I want to create a BIRT reportEngine programmatically from a java
program in eclipse. (more specifically, its an eclipse plugin).
All the BIRT plugins are properly loaded etc, and i can launch the
birt report designer by running the app.

What is the value of BIRT_HOME in this case? I am not using the birt
runtime directly, rather i am using the birt plugins themselves.

Here is the code i am using to start up birt:

IReportEngine engine=null;
EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig;
config.setBIRTHome("../ReportEngineProject");
try{
Platform.startup( config );
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory)
Platform.createFactoryObject(
IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTO RY);

engine = factory.createReportEngine( config );

} catch ( Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}


Basically what i want to do is to open a design template from within
the program and emit it.

Thanks a lot!

[birt-news] Getting dataType info

prateek3.14@xxxxxxx (Prateek Sharma) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:56:33 GMT

Hi all,
       Is there a way to extract the dataType information? I am
extracting content by implementing the Emitter extension point.

                
                    4
                    QUANTITYINSTOCK
                    QUANTITYINSTOCK
                    integer
                    4
                

In this snippet, lets say i want to know that the type in integer.
However, IDataContent.getContentType() is returning 3 (DATA_CONTENT).

So how can i get the datatype information of cells in tables, data boxes, etc?

Thanks a lot in advance!

[birt-news] Extracting HTML content

prateek3.14@xxxxxxx (Prateek Sharma) — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 05:42:46 GMT

Hi all,
         I am extracting report content by using the emitter extension
point. I am having issues when the cell content is of html type. An
example is:


 sans-serif
html
 San
Francisco, CA 94107

]]>
  

This is inside a cell. So startCell (of IContentEmitter) is called,
and it immediately exits without calling any other method (like
startText etc).

So how do i extract such kind content in my reports? Isnt startText
supposed to be called here?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Prateek
