Hi, <br />
<br />
first, if this is posted in the wrong forum, could you please point me in the right direction. I'd be very grateful.<br />
<br />
Also please bare with my knowledge of both Java and the BIRT API as it is very new to me.<br />
<br />
I understand there is a way to output xml to an xml file, and have your odadatasourcehandle point to this file. We have successfully implemented this. However is there a way to bypass writing out the contents to the file and just feed them directly to the odadatasourcehandle? <br />
<br />
I haven't found much that I was able to use from a google search and I have read this article <a class='bbc_url' href='
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&&th=162952&goto=515646'>link</a> which seemed promissing but I still can't get it to work. So far I have this for my code. Could you please help me out by letting me know what part i'm missing in the code in order to do this?<br />

Thanks for all the help, <br />
