Output a birt report as odt or csv

Hi,
We need to output a birt report (designed by birt designer) as odt or csv....
From the management console if I try the report on the top left I can only choose pdf or html or word or xls as output format.
We want to call these reports via URL, I know there is the parameter format and I have used the keyword pdf and excel so far...
I think there are other values such as odt and csv.
Can someone confirm which are these values?
For example
Thanks,
Alex

Re: Output a birt report as odt or csv

Hi Alex,

for Birt Reports ReportServer currently supports these output formats:

WORD, PDF, HTML, PNG, EXCEL

I'll create a feature request to add CSV, as I see no reason not to support it, but I can make no promises as to when this will be available.

Cheers,
Thorsten

Re: Output a birt report as odt or csv

Hi,
thanks for your answer. I will be waiting for then.
Otherwise in the meantime, I went through the source code to try to understand what classes should be added for birt reports.
I should define two classes for sure like :Birt2CSV and BirtCSVOutputGenerator.
Futhermore you have written the code and maybe you might put on the right track to speed up this process and tell me excatly which package I should look at.
Another help it could be if you could tell me step by step how to import this project in eclipse so that I can focus on this matter.

In other word I would like to partecipate in adding new features but I need a little help to start up.

Let me know what you think about it.

Cheers,
Alex
