org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.ReportEngine

All Implemented Interfaces:

IReportEngine

public class ReportEngine
extends java.lang.Object
implements IReportEngine

This is a wrapper class for the IReportEngine. The new user should use the IReportEngineFactory to create the IReportEngine instead of use this class directly.

Constructor Detail

ReportEngine

public ReportEngine(EngineConfig config)

Constructor. If config is null, engine derives BIRT_HOME from the location of the engine jar file, and derives data driver directory as $BIRT_HOME/drivers. For a simple report with no images and links, engine will run without complaining. If the report has image/chart defined, the engine has to be configured with relevant image and chart handlers.

Parameters:

config - an engine configuration object used to configure the engine
