BIRT OverviewOverview报表简介BIRT is an Eclipse-based open source reporting system for web applications, especially those based on Java and J2EE. BIRT has two main components: 基于Eclipse的报表设计器；可部署至应用服务器的运行时组件。 BIRT also offers a charting engine that lets you add charts to your own application.With BIRT, you can add a rich variety of reports to your application.列表ListsThe simplest reports are lists of data. As the lists get longer, you can add grouping to organize related data together (orders grouped by customer, products grouped by supplier). If your data is numeric, you can easily add totals, averages and other summaries.图形ChartsNumeric data is much easier to understand when presented as a chart. BIRT provides pie charts, line bar charts and many more. BIRT charts can be rendered in SVG and support events to allow user interaction.交叉表CrosstabsCrosstabs (also called a cross-tabulation or matrix) shows data in two dimensions: sales per quarter or hits per web page.信件和文档Letters DocumentsNotices, form letters, and other textual documents are easy to create with BIRT. Documents can include text, formatting, lists, charts and more.复合报表Compound ReportsMany reports need to combine the above into a single document. For example, a customer statement may list the information for the customer, provide text about current promotions, and provide side-by-side lists of payments and charges. A financial report may include disclaimers, charts, tables all with extensive formatting that matches corporate color schemes.报表构成四大组成部分: data, data transforms, business logic and presentation.数据DataBIRT报表的数据类型：Databases/ web services/ Java objects；BIRT报表提供的数据访问方式：JDBC/ XML/ Web Services/ Flat File support/ support for using code to get at other sources of data；单报表可以包含多数据源数据；BIRT允许异构数据通过inner和outer joins的方式互联；BIRTs use of the Open Data Access (ODA) framework allows anyone to build new UI and runtime support for any kind of tabular data.数据转换Data Transforms支持按需对数据进行排序/ 累计/ 过滤以及分组；数据库支持上述功能，但BIRT对类似
