setting computedcolumn's datatype as 'any' in BIRT2.3.1

i met some error when updating BIRT2.1.3 to 2.3.1. my code is using runtime package to generate report. in 2.1.3, i can set computedcolumn's datatype as 'any', but in 2.3.1 an error throws: 'any' choice is not allowed.
so i think birt 2.3.1 is not supporting any data type in columns, how can handle this scenario if i still want set computedcolumn's datatype as 'any' in 231?
also i did some test on my guess. desiging a test report (anytype.rptdesign) with 213 and of course it can be run successuly in 213 designer, when i load this template in 231 designer, it can also be run successfully, but without 'any' option in column's property. does that mean template with 'any' type which is saved by 213 can be loaded and run in 231 designer?is there some differnce between designer API and engine API while load template which contain 'any' data type?
it's wired that 231 designer can run 'any' type while 231 engine can not
BTW, is this issue still exist on latest version (2.3.2)?

i checked the source code of DesignChoiceConstants.java and found that 'any' datatype is stil supportted by 231, this error throws when adding 'any' computedcolumn to table.
so dose table not support 'any' datatype columns?

is that ok if i use my modified jar in my program, is it legal under EPL
(BIRT user EPL, right?)

Hi

I am new to BIRT reporting. I need some input on how to configure report viewer with my web application.

I have downloaded all in one version of Eclipse 2.2.2 (with birt) also i have downloaded the Birt runtime and copied the webviewerexample in my tomcat webapps directory and sample report runs fine. I also designed a new query based report and copied that report in webviewerexample/report folder and i was able to view it (without all the functionality like exporting etc.)

But now i was storeprocedure based report. when i try it it gives error even at time of designing as for input parameters it gives type and other erroes. But even after that how to call the report from my existing web application and how to pass the parameters to this report, where this report should reside.

If anyone has done this then please help me. I need a code snippet for it and some instrustions for it.

Please help me.

Thanks
