Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-2220:
--------------------------------------

I have added Seam JSF control intended to execute BIRT reports.
You can use it in the following way:

- add the BIRT framework and BIRT wtp integration 
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/birt/downloads/drops/M-R1-2.3RC4-200806121055/birt-report-framework-sdk-2.3RC4.zip
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/birt/downloads/drops/M-R1-2.3RC4-200806121055/birt-wtp-integration-sdk-2.3RC4.zip
The BIRT facet doesn't work correctly with BIRT versions less than RC4

- create a new Seam Web Project
- choose the 2.0 version of the Seam facet
- add the "Birt Reporting Runtime Component" facet 
- create a new xhtml file (testbirt.xhtml) as follows :

<p:birt xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
            xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
            xmlns:p="http://jboss.com/products/seam/birt"
       designType="run"
       format="pdf"
       designName="test1.rptdesign"
       title="JBoss Birt Test">
    
    <p:param name="sample" value="sample test"/>
    <p:param name="Cust" value="12"/>
</p:birt> 

- add the following link to some xhtml file:

<s:link view="/testbirt.xhtml" value="Test Birt" />

- deploy the project
- click the Test Birt link

If you want to use BIRT frameset, create testbirt.xhtml as follows :

<p:birt xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
            xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
            xmlns:p="http://jboss.com/products/seam/birt"
       designType="frameset"
       designName="test1.rptdesign"
       title="JBoss Birt Test">
    
    
</p:birt> 

You will get the BIRT parameter dialog because the p:param tags don't exist in the file. 

test1.rptdesign is an example of a report added by the BIRT facet. 
You can create your own report and add the Hibernate ODA datasource/dataset.

I am going to create a more detailed description of these features.

TODO : 
- add parameters to the Hibernate ODA data set 
- create a JSF control that will be intended to embed a BIRT report in an existing page

> I am going to integrate JBoss Tools with BIRT.
> The integration will include the following functionalities:
> - creating a data source based on the Hibernate Tools configuration
> - creating a data set including most of the Hibernate Tools features (browsing the Hibernate artifacts, syntax highlighting, formating, content assist...), D&D ...
> - the data set preview
> - creating reports using the Hibernate data source 
> - adding deployment within a web projects (JSF, Seam...)
