    can you use tools birt integration with normal JSF 2?

    bcn

      Can you use the JBoss tools birt integration for a normal JSF 2 application without Seam?

       

      Does the b:birt tag work in that case?

       

      Thanks

          The JBoss BIRT Integration works with a JSF 1.2 application without Seam.

          You have to add jboss-birt-servlet.jar from org.jboss.tools.birt.oda to your classpath (WEB-INF/lib).

          I haven't tested any JSF 2 application, but you can try it. I suppose it will work.

            Ok thanks, got it to work.

             

            A couple of questions:

             

            1. Are the jars jboss-birt-servlet.jar and jboss-seam-birt.jar in a Maven repository?

             

            2. When I do in Eclipse ctrl+space inside a b: tag, no attributes are suggested. Can that be fixed?

             

            Thanks

              Another question: I try to install the Birt runtime as JBoss module in AS 7 to avoid a 50Mb war file.

              I defined a module, put all the jars in it and had to define some dependencies, one on the xml DocumentBuilderFactory. I defined a module javax/xml/parsers with xml-apis.2.0.jar.

               

              But now I get:

              Any idea of how to solve this? I guess I need to change the dependency, but I can't find a module or jar with __redirected.__DocumentBuilderFactory.

                Yes, it can be fixed.

                Could you please create a jira for that issue on https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE?

                  Adding the BIRT runtime as a JBoss AS 7 module is a good idea.

                  I think you don't need to define the javax/xml/parsers module because JDK already contains XML API.

                    Without it I get a ClassNotFoundException on DocumentBuilderFactory, so I added it.

                     

                    I created the issue about ctrl+space in Eclipse:

                      Ok thanks, got it to work.

                      Do you mean that you made it work with JSF 2  ???

                       

                      Could you please help me by showing any example Or give me a link for working with Birt using Jboss tools and JSF 2 ???

                        Yes, I got it to work with RichFaces 4 and no Seam.

                        However, I could not manage to install Birt as jboss module.

                        So all Birt runtime libs and the two jboss birt libs mentioned above are in WEB-INF/lib.

                        As my project is "mavenized", I keep these libs in a separate folder and in the maven build they are copied to WEB-INF/lib.

                         

                        In the jsf page I have e.g.:

                        <b:birt embeddable="true"
                        designName="WEB-INF/birt/sub_match.rptdesign" designType="embed"
                        locale="#{loginBean.language}">
                        <b:param name="estabId" value="#{bean.reportEstabId}" />
                        <b:param name="weekdayId" value="1" />
                        </b:birt>

                         

                        Hope this helps.

                          Thanks for your reply and help,

                           

                          Can I achieve this without using seam ? Only JSF2 and RichFaces and Birt liberaries ?

                              I have another question please,

                               

                              How did your report connec to the the DB ?? Do you give it a connection object ?? or it use the application default datasource ?

                               

                              I have developed a report which connect to DB using JDBC datasource, it worked fine

                              But when I added it to the JSF page and run the application I got thisexception

                              org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity] (http--0.0.0.0-7070-4) Unable to determine the default workspace loc

                              I think its connectivity issue.

                               

                              I font know how to make my report connect to DB in my richfaces/JSF web application (deployed to Jboss AS7.1)

                                I don't know this error, but the report has a JNDI URL like this:

                                 

                                java:jboss/datasources/myDS

                                 

                                which you must also define in Jboss of course.

                                 

                                Hope this helps.

                                  I have the same Problem. Have you already solved it?

                                  I'm using Birt 3.7.2 and Jboss 7.1.1.

                                  I also tried to create a Jboss module to avoid such a big ear-file but always get the following Exception at factory.createReportEngine( c );

                                  • 14. Re: can you use tools birt integration with normal JSF 2?
                                    bcn

                                    I still put all the Birt libs into the war file.

                                    The jboss tools team could provide or explain how to make a jboss birt module.

                                    Maybe you could generate a Jira entry for that.

                                     

                                    Regards
