i've been developing single source solution using eclipse RCP and RAP. I'm just wondering how to use the WebViewer to display reports on RAP client ? Could you help with some example or code how to integrate reports within RAP using webviewer ?
Hi Sudesh, when using the webviewer we are not really integrating BIRT with RAP. What we have done is we deployed the BIRT webviewer (war file) onto the same Tomcat server as RAP. In the application we have a browser widget with a URL which points to the BIRT report. As you know every report is accessible via a url.
For a real tight integration between RAP and BIRT there is an excellent tutorial on the eclipse wiki site.
The complexity lies in getting to know the RCP framework. If you know that then making an Ajax web application via the RAP framework is easy (keeping in mind the differences between RCP and RAP). In fact, you don't have to write any javascript code or html... the RAP framework does it for you.

Total days spent was 15. It was a project to test the single-sourcing with RCP and RAP, so we spent some time thoroughly examining the differences.

How snappy is it when not run on localhost?

Screen buildup is equal as it is built on the client, server request/response varies depending on server load and network.

Very nice RAP demo Tom. I think this is waaaaaaayyyyyy better than the Forms apps some companies still use (wonder why ;-)
Keep up the good work!
