Hi purushdk, 
 
Your Birt report can read in the array data using different kinds of data source - there are lots of examples available in the web showing how to do this, e.g. <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.com/be/demos/all-demos/'>Demos: All Topics</a> 
 
You can use report parameters to further filter etc the data according to the report's needs. An example on using parameters is here:

Hi purushdk, 
 
Ok, so if I understand correctly, you need to be able to dynamically create the report design itself, not just the contents of the report. 
 
You can use the Design Engine API to dynamically create the report. Information and examples of dynamic report generation are given here:
