Switching the XML datsource/changing the FILELIST dynamically

Naveen123

Hi All,

I need a small help from the group. I am creating a BIRT report from a xml datasource and then deploying that .rptdesign file on birt server (running under tomcat).

The problem is I need to call this report design with different xml data source so that it can generate a report based on that. (XML schema for each xml source is same).

I am little new to BIRT and not sure how to solve this problem. I would really appreciate if someone here can help me out and let me know how to do it.


TIA,
Naveen

Hi Naveen,<br />

Please take a look at the following post from the devShare:<br />

<br />
It shows how to switch the XML dataSource based on a parameter.<br />

Hope it helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
