A Thing you deploy to JBoss is BIRT Viewer . BIRT Viewer is a web application that opens your reports, renders them and returns via http. There is no need to export a birt project as anything.

Here is quick " Deploying to JBoss " instruction for BIRT Viewer (and Download link - download Runtime version).

After deploy copy your .rptdesign files to deploy/birt.war dir (yeap, birt.war should be a directory). You can run your ...JBoss.../deploy/birt.war/foo.rptdesign report as something like http://localhost:8080/birt/frameset?__report=foo.rptdesign .
