Java - Execute Modified Report (BIRT)

< To: Integration Examples (BIRT)

Execute Modifed Report

This example opens an existing report and adds a data source, data set and a table. The example also uses the Report Engine API (RE API) to execute the modified report. The table columns are dynamically created based on an ArrayList that is passed in. The columns must exist in the query that is passed in.

Add comments at the bottom of the example.

Moved from the old examples area BIRT Design Engine API

This example adds data source, data set, and elements. To modify existing elements use the find methods of the ReportDesignHandle. For example to modify an existing Data Source use code similar to:


ReportDesignHandle report = (ReportDesignHandle) design.getDesignHandle();
OdaDataSourceHandle dsHandle = (OdaDataSourceHandle) report.findDataSource( "Data Source" );

dsHandle.setProperty( "odaDriverClass","mydriverclass" );
dsHandle.setProperty( "odaURL", "mydriverurl" );
dsHandle.setProperty( "odaUser", "user" );
dsHandle.setProperty( "odaPassword", "pass" );

Please note that the Class name in the above example code is misspelled and should be ExecuteModifiedReport instead of ExecuteModifedReport.
