LogicLibrary's Logidex integrates with Eclipse BI toolkit

LogicLibrary has announced its flagship Logidex solution now integrates with Eclipse's Business Intelligence and Reporting Toolkit (BIRT). The integration allows Logidex users to rapidly develop new and compelling reports in a graphical rich client environment and easily deploy those reports to a BIRT server associated with Logidex, the company says.

Developers use BIRT to build reporting and analysis capabilities into enterprise applications, especially those based on Java and J2EE, saving time for developers who have historically hand-coded those capabilities.

According to LogicLibrary: LogicLibrary's support for BIRT will make it possible for users to create pre-built reports in Logidex that customers can use out of the box. The pre-built reports are easily customized and extensible. Planned enhancements to Logidex include additional pre-defined reports based on customer and prospect feedback, tighter integration with the BIRT server, and custom properties for assets, user and organization groups for native imbedding of reports.

BIRT includes Eclipse Report Designer, an Eclipse-based desktop-authoring environment; Eclipse Report Engine, which generates reports using the report object model designs created by Eclipse Report Designer; and a set of APIs for integrating and extending BIRT. The license-free toolkit provides reports in either PDF or HTML.
