Answer 1

BIRT has inbuilt library for ReportDesigner and ReportServices.

I insist , you first understand the various layers in BIRT .

Basically , you can import these libraries into your structs controller and call the library API functions to compute logics, form the docs( html,pdf,charts etc ) and generate and display the reports.

For the BIRT Designer , you can install BIRT Report Designer Plugin in eclipse . This adds a layer to your eclipse where you can first design the report layout and configure database connections.

This designer , gives your .rptdesign file.

These rptdesign files are then request called from the Report Service(to be called from controller) in DEAPI.
