Moved to [[Servlet Example (BIRT) 2.1]]
 
+
This example demonstrates using the RE API within a servlet.
+
Note if possible it is better to use the BIRT Web Viewer Example.
+
Add comments at the bottom of the example.

[[BIRT Report Engine API]] Return to the BIRT Report Engine API examples
+
 
+
==== Setup ====
+
1. Create a ''WebReport/WEB-INF/lib'' directory underneath the Tomcat ''webapps'' directory.
+
 
+
2. Copy all the jars in the ''birt-runtime-2_1_0/ReportEngine/lib'' directory from the Report Engine download into your ''WebReport/WEB-INF/lib'' directory.
+
 
+
3. Create a directory named ''platform'' in your ''WEB-INF'' folder.
+
 
+
4. Copy the ''birt-runtime-2_1_0/Report Engine/plugins'' and ''birt-runtime-2_1_0/ReportEngine/configuration'' directories to the ''platform'' directory you just created.
+
 
+
5. Copy iText.jar to the platform/plugins/com.lowagie.itext/lib directory.  If the directory does not exist, create it.
+
 
+

+
This example application consist of three files that are archived into webreport.jar. If you are using Eclipse to build the servlet make sure to add all the jars, from the ''birt-runtime-2_1_0/ReportEngine/lib'' directory to your build path. You will also need servlet.jar, from the Tomcat Eclipse plug-in in your build path. Either build or copy webreport.jar from the example and place it in your ''WEB-INF/lib'' directory.

+
* BirtConfig.properties - Configuration properties for the Engine.
+
* BirtEngine.java - Class used to initialize the Report Engine.
+
* WebReport.java - The servlet that handles report generation on a GET command.
