商品描述

The world-wide developer community has downloaded over three million copies of BIRT (Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools) from the Eclipse web site. Built on the open-source Eclipse platform, BIRT is a powerful reporting system that provides an end-to-end solution, from creating and deploying reports to integrating report capabilities in enterprise applications.

The second of a two-book series on business intelligence and reporting technology, Integrating and Extending BIRT, Second Edition introduces programmers to BIRT architecture and the reporting framework. BIRT technology makes it possible for a programmer to build a customized report using scripting and BIRT APIs. A programmer can also extend the BIRT framework by creating a new plug-in using the Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment. This book provides extensive examples on how to build plug-ins to extend the features of the BIRT framework. The source code for these examples is available for download.

The topics discussed include
  • Installing and deploying BIRT
  • Deploying a BIRT report to an application server
  • Understanding BIRT architecture
  • Scripting in a BIRT report design
  • Integrating BIRT functionality into applications
  • Working with the BIRT extension framework

This second edition, revised and expanded, adds the following new content
  • Updated architectural diagrams
  • Expanded scripting examples
  • Tag library descriptions
  • In-depth description of BIRT Web Viewer
  • Configuring BIRT to use a JNDI connection
  • XML report rendering plug-in example
  • Fragment plug-in localization example
  • Open Data Access (ODA) plug-in example implementing the new Data Tools Platform (DTP) design and run-time wizards

商品描述(中文翻譯)

全球開發者社群已從Eclipse網站下載了超過三百萬份BIRT(商業智能和報表工具)。BIRT是建立在開源Eclipse平台上的強大報表系統,提供從創建和部署報表到在企業應用程式中整合報表功能的端到端解決方案。

《整合和擴展BIRT,第二版》是關於商業智能和報表技術的兩本書中的第二本,介紹了BIRT架構和報表框架。BIRT技術使得開發人員可以使用腳本和BIRT API構建自定義報表。開發人員還可以使用Eclipse插件開發環境創建新的插件來擴展BIRT框架。本書提供了大量的示例,介紹如何構建插件以擴展BIRT框架的功能。這些示例的源代碼可供下載。

討論的主題包括:
- 安裝和部署BIRT
- 將BIRT報表部署到應用程式伺服器
- 了解BIRT架構
- 在BIRT報表設計中使用腳本
- 將BIRT功能整合到應用程式中
- 使用BIRT擴展框架進行工作

這本修訂和擴展的第二版新增了以下內容:
- 更新的架構圖
- 擴展的腳本示例
- 標籤庫描述
- BIRT Web Viewer的詳細描述
- 配置BIRT以使用JNDI連接
- XML報表渲染插件示例
- 片段插件本地化示例
- 開放數據訪問(ODA)插件示例,實現新的數據工具平台(DTP)設計和運行時精靈
