format attribute and PDF generation [message #147098] Wed, 22 March 2006 17:16 Go to next message

Hello every one,

In the version 1 of BIRT, you could use the format attibute in value-of
tag directly from inside a text element.
Here is an example :

<value-of format="html">
row["contenu"]
</value-of>

The result here is not the HTML tag but the interpreted result in PDF.
This is really useful when the data retrieved from the db is formated in
HTML.
I tested it in the V2 of Birt and PDF view but it is not working anymore.
I get an outOfMemoryError.
Actually, if I use the viewer from inside Eclipse it is working properly.
But from inside my WebApp with the pdf ReportEngine of the V2, I get the
error.

Does anybody has an idea on how to generate a pdf with html data from DB
in V2 ?

Thanks to all

Maxime

I put it inside a text element that is inside a table with a group.
The field "contenu" is straight from the DB and contains HTML tags such as
<B> content </B>. I want these tags to be interpreted.
When I use it from inside a very easy example just a title and this field,
it is not working if I put format="html". If I delete the format the thing
is working but I get all the HTML tags.

Thanks

Max
