Writing to a database

tathas

Hello,

I'm fairly new to BIRT and I could use some help. I'd like to find the easiest way to add the ability for a BIRT report (i'm using the 2.3 RCP) to update a database table in an Oracle 10g database. Simply put, I want to log how often a report is run and keep the results in a database table. I can write a simple Java class that does an insert using JDBC, but i'm not really sure how to let BIRT access that and use it. Or if there might be a better/simpler way to go about what i'm trying to do. These reports will eventually be added to a 3rd party web application which I help manage (the app has a facility already built-in to load/use BIRT reports). Thanks for any help.
