Birt : How to generate PDF from rtpdesign file in standalone Java application

I have designed very simple student.rptdesign file from Eclipse Luna SR2 IDE for Java and Report Developers. It's Data Source is BIRT POJO Data Source. It is working fine from there. Now what I want to do now is generate same PDF file from Java class(without BIRT Eclipse). I searched lot of articles but they are mostly about 'JDBC datasource'.

Can anyone guide me how to do that ?

Solution

  • I think this is what you want:

    Here is an example from the BIRT documentation on how to call the ReportEngine from a Java main method to generate a report from an existing .rptdesign report.

    There is also an example for pdf output in it.
