RE: [birt-dev] Birt integration into existing OSGI server framework

["Wei Yan" <wyan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The report engine can be installed into existing OSGi sever framework.

We need:

1. Copy all the BIRT bundles into the existing framework.
2. If we need call the BIRT API in web application, we need:
	a. Export the BIRT APIs from the framework. The BIRT API is
exported through a system fragment. You can see a fragment bundle has
been loaded in the BIRT's config.ini.
	b. Add the core plugin into the framework's starts up bundles.
	c. If we need call the Copy the BIRT API jars into the WEB
application's /lib folder.
3. We needn't export BIRT APIs out if we call BIRT API in bundles only.


The Platform of BIRT is a wrapper of Eclipse's Platform, so it the
framework won't be started up more than once.

Thanks.

Hello,

    I'm seeking some instructions on how to integrate the birt report
engine
into an existing OSGI based server environment.  Can the engine be
installed
as set of bundles into the framework?  After looking at the
documentation,
it looks as though the standard method is as a stand-alone application,
but
I noticed the Platform elements of the API so I'm not sure.  Thanks for
your
help.
