Re: BIRT integration
Hi, Birt is a substantial codebase and report generation is often very resource hungry. I did have Birt embedded in a tapestry application but many reports took longer to generate than I wanted my users to wait, so have pushed it out into a separate cluster, using web services, (CXF) to interface, with the report stored as a byte array in the db. The reporting application is stateless and therefore easy to scale separately. I use a tapestry StreamResponse to serve the report from the db. I am pleased with this solution, it seems to work well. When it was embedded, I followed the advice for embedding both the report and design engines within an application, that resides in the Birt documentation and made the services Tapestry services defined in the AppModule class. It worked as advertised. I just wouldn't do it that way now for the reason above. The other thing to remember is that being an eclipse project, it didn't play well with maven, though that may have improved recently. Not quite what you were asking but hope it helps.

Re: BIRT integration
I have a blog post about deploying BIRT to tomcat, maybe this will also help: http://dmitrygusev.blogspot.ru/2011/09/running-birt-reports-in-tomcat.html On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 2:05 PM, Peter Courcoux pe...@courcoux.biz wrote: Hi, Birt is a substantial codebase and report generation is often very resource hungry.

For example, JFreeChart: you use it in the same way you would without Tapestry. For showing the generated charts, you'd just need to wrap them in a StreamResponse and return it in a page's onActivate() or a page, component or mixin event handler method. -- Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
