Accessing the BIRT Report Viewer using a URI

The BIRT Report Viewer servlet displays a BIRT report and provides tools to affect the document and design files. This servlet provides both the BIRT Report Viewer and the BIRT Report Interactive Viewer. The Interactive Viewer is licensed separately from the viewer.

The viewer displays the report with toolbar options to navigate the report and a menu to perform additional tasks, as shown in Figure 12-1.
