How does one bundle a report built with the iReport plugin into a MyEclipse project and have that report to render on demand at runtime

Stubbs,
I have no experience with iReport, so it’s hard to say. What format are the reports generated in? Are these dynamic (like generated from a servlet) or are they static, say a PDF or PNG?

They are static reports that query both Oracle and SQL Server and are rentered in .pdf format. In the iReports compile directory three (3) files are built. They each have different extentions – .jasper, .jrxml, and of course the .pdf file. We are supposed to be able to bundle these reports in the .war file for deployment on the application server, which in our case is WebLogic 8.1.4.

I’m new at this and I appreciate your help!

Stubbs,
All you would need to do is copy your files to the appropriate location of your web application before deploying it. MyEclipse is not going to provide any assistence to you in doing this as it has no knowledge of iReports, so this will be a manual step, but should be easy enough.

Riyad,

Thanks for the comments. After researching further, the easiest way is to use a URL call to the report server which seems to be working great. Thanks again.
