Just one caveat about the article: as far as I remember creating a platform
and report engine were costly operations. I do not have the code at hand but
I remember we created some kind of singleton that was used to launch the
reports. Additionally we added some logic that would:
1-scan report for parameters and generate an UI based on that. 2-replace
"design" data-sources for "production" data-sources.
3-For images and other resources there was some interface you could
implement so that reports could be able to call-back to the server and get
them served. We rolled out our own implementation and plugged it into BIRTs
machinery.
