Create Web Service for birt datasource

sthien

Hi,

I have read a lot of example on how to create a webservice datasource in birt on the internet. Right now i would like to write/create my own web service for my birt report which returns a set of data as a datasource in the report. Most of the examples on the internet show how to create a simple webservice that returns a String. How do i write my web service so that it will return a set of data like below so that i can map my row mapping to <employee> tag and column mapping to <name> and <age> tag?

<employees>
<employee>
<name>John</name>
<age>40</age>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Jimmy</name>
<age>30</age>
</employee>
</employees>

Do you have any example that i can refer to?

Thanks,
Sthien

Hi Sthien,

I know your post is over 2 years old but I wondered whether you found a solution for your problem? I want to create a webService data soruce myself and was wondering whether you found some examples I can refer to.

Thank you in advance!
