Word documents generation in web app using Eclipse BIRT Report Engine

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to generate word documents (*.doc) in java web application using Eclipse BIRT (Report Engine)? I want .rptdesign to be an input file in generating process. I could not find any example or tutorial.

What would you recommend as an alternative solution. As far as I know Jasper Reports allow only RTF format generation.

Thank you for your answer/explaination

Answer 1

Yes, BIRT can generate a report in HTML, Postscript, PDF, Excel, and Word out of the box.
