When using an aggregate control in some reports you would prefer to see a blank field instead of 0. There does not appear to be a way to do this automatically. Does anyone have a way that this can be done. Note, you want to maintain the '0' value for the field in cases when you export, but you want to show a blank when rendering to PD...

The Eclipse projects are all stored in the Eclipse Foundation CVS servers. Using the source is a great way to debug your code and to figure out how to do new things. Unfortunately in a large software project like BIRT, it can be difficult which projects and versions are required for a particular build. So what is the best way to ge...
I am building my first report in BIRT. Very quickly I ran into a problem in which I wanted to display some text or data based on an expression that included data from two different tables (not tables that can/should be joined - (hypothetically example- take a student's ACT score from his record in the student table and compare it agains...
When creating reports using BIRT 2.3.1, I don't want page breaks inside tables or groups; if the table doesn't fit in the space available at the page, I want to put the entire element in the next page. Using previous versions of BIRT it was possible to set pageBreakInside to "avoid", but it didn't work. In BIRT 2.3.1 this (useless) opt...
I recently began using BIRT and have developed a report to use with my xulrunner application. What I haven't yet figured out is how I should deploy the viewer. It seems like BIRT mostly targets Java applications, so there are instructions for deploying on J2EE, JBoss, and other technologies -- with which I am not familiar (but I'm not ...
We currently have a whole suite of report designs that cover various parts of our app, and these reports are generated on demand by our users. I want to be able to bundle up several of these reports into a single report to return to the user. I initially hacked up a custom report builder that generated report design files using segment...

Hi all! I use BIRT since early days and still have riddles regarding PDF emitter. Short story: Can I configure fontsConfig.xml to load fonts from relative path or from jars?

Is there a neat way to access a BIRT report's datasets to add/modify some filters. I know I can just change the XML(rptdesign) file but I'm hoping for a java method or something. By the way, I'll access it through PHP-Java Bridge because my front-end is on PHP. ...
