Jacopo,

you are making here a very negative review of the Birt integration....as
any component sure there is room for improvement however....

Some positives you did not even notice?

1. can use minilanguage for the retrieval
2. can use ofbiz fieldnames and entity names. (not databasenames)
3. can use OFBiz views.....
4. can fully integrate in the ERP application.
5. has many inbuilt output formats.
6. Incorporates the warehouse entities.

Created/extended the datawarehouse which is essential for ordereporting.
We have very big customers where using order reports directly on the
OFBiz database was not possible.

This warehouse function is essential for large customers

I very strongly think about keeping this in the framework.

BI component I agree, can go....

Regards,
Hans



I'm in two minds about BIRT. It's a fine tool to make reports, but underused in OFBiz. If the concerns Jacopo has about it were resolved, will it be kept in framework ? Also, creating more of those reports (with not available features in FOP), will this go in the right way to keep it there ?
