[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-2220) JBoss BIRT Integration

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2220?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-2220: -------------------------------------- The servlet is used to start BIRT OSGi Runtime that renders a report. This is the standard way used within the BIRT project. The Hibernate ODA driver is executed within the OSGi Runtime. It uses a session factory or entity manager factory from the server's JNDI namespace, entity classes included into the session factory/entity manager factory (hql queries). See ServerOdaFactory.getSessionFactory(). The OSGi Runtime is executed within the JBoss server's JVM, uses the server's classpath (we don't deploy hibernate libraries), server's JNDI (session factory/entity manager factory) ... The servlet is the way to start the OSGi framework. It is also possible to create a JBoss AS service to start the OSGi framework. Advantages: - we would have most of the BIRT libraries at one place on the server; the BIRT WAR would be significantly reduced Disadvantages: - the service would be JBoss specific - we would have to upgrade the service when upgrading BIRT -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
