<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a problem, and could not fin any suitable solution online.</p>
<p>I have a PHP application and I need to be able to generate dynamically Birt Report.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I used to generate reports with the genReport.sh script, that loads one instance of birt, but it takes a loooong time to generate (loading the entire JVM / loading the classes and generating can take up to 30s for a one page report)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My goal is to have an API / a webservice that I can use to download generated birt reports. I should be able to send the rptdesign parameters, and to choose the export format.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I tried to look for solutions online, but did not find anything...</p>
<p>I tried to install birt-viewer as a tomcat webapp, and I am able to see my reports by URL :</p>
<p>MYSERVEUR/birt-viewer/frameset?__report=MYREPORT.rptdesign</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Performances are good (2 or 3 seconds for the same report that take 30s with the genReport.sh script).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I don't see how to use this URL via my PHP Application...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does anyones know the best way to do this ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is the best way to develop a Java application, interconnected with Birt, that will expose an API for generating the report ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your answers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kilian.</p>
