One way to view a BIRT report on the web is to deploy the BIRT report viewer to an application server, such as Apache Tomcat, IBM WebSphere, JBoss, or BEA WebLogic.

BIRT Report Engine includes the BIRT report viewer as a web archive (.war) file and as a set of files and folders. Deploying the BIRT report viewer requires copying files from BIRT Report Engine, which you must install separately from BIRT Report Designer.

This section provides information about deploying the BIRT report viewer both by using the WAR file and by using the set of files and folders.
