Introduction to BIRT Reporting
Abstract
This session will introduce the Eclipse open source BIRT (Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools) project and the various ways to integrate BIRT into applications. We will discuss and show several deployment options that range from API integration to integrating BIRT Viewers into web applications. Topics covered include using the BIRT Designer, the BIRT APIs, and working with the open source BIRT web viewer example. We will also look at a JavaScript API for embedding and controlling BIRT reports, using Flash charts and gadgets with BIRT reports, AJAX-based interactivity on BIRT reports, and a web-based BIRT designer for end users.
