Hi everyone I'm Gerhard Goosen, me and my colleagues did a design to use BIRT to report on GEO/Schematic data. We are not currently working on the project that will implement this design, due to other projects that needs completion... but this has really interested me, so if you would be so kind as to keep us in to loop of what you guys are doing/problems you are encountering and such I would be very grateful... and of course if we get any time to work with you on this it would be awesome. Really cool stuff! Gerhard

To provide some background, my current work involves using uDig as renderer and catalog platform for spatially-enhanced JCR repository. uDig will also be used for GIS reporting based on BIRT. Geographical maps within BIRT will be analogous to charts (connected to data series and sources). For a first milestone, we'll try reporting from server-side only, so that report preview in BIRT is taken from the server. Ultimately, it should be possible to e.g. compose a report which would take server-side map and join it to local CSV file, so that some buildings on the map would be labeled according to this file. We intend to contribute at least a part of this back to uDig project, but we're only started and have no definite plan yet. So far, I'm quite happy just to see some shapefiles rendered with uDig within BIRT report ;) BTW, just make D stand for Distributed and you don't even have to change the name :) Jesse Eichar wrote: > Good stuff!

You need eclipse 3.2 and plugins from equinox incubator: _______________________________________________ User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS (uDig) http://udig.refractions.net http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/udig-devel _______________________________________________ User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS (uDig) http://udig.refractions.net http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/udig-devel
