Re: Calling BIRT from RPG

Hi Pete,



My Name is Faisal I'm from Switzerland. I read your comments to Paul on
midrange.com concerning Report Engine.

I have tried IReport sometime ago but couldn't take advantage of it
because of java knowledge shortage.

I would like to try your RRE if you don't mind.

Please let me know if you are going to go on developing this tool for the
future too.



Have mercy if my English is too poor, and if you find any error you can
keep it :-)



Have a nice day Pete

Paul,

I put together an open source project called the RPG Report Engine (RRE)
that I have been hosting (but the site is down while I have been
relocating to Texas). It should be back up next week but if you want to
contact me offlist, I can send you the source. Basically, it uses
techniques that both Scott Klement and Aaron Bartell (and a host of
other folks on the list) use to call Java code from RPG. There are lots
of good examples around. I originally had both Birt and Jasper Reports
support in RRE but pulled the Birt piece due to lack of interest and
bloat in the Birt code base. But I still have the old version that
allows for calls to either BIRT or Jasper reports (based on older
versions of each).

Hello



As our move to full Java is going to take some time we would I would
like to know if anybody has had any experience in executing a Birt
Report from a RPG batch programme. Is calling/using a web service the
way to go ? How is it best to pass any eventual parameters from RPG to
Birt ?



Thanks in anticpation
