Create an Unique Data Source for Several Reports

Hello,

I have a question, I don't know if Birt permit to have a unique data source for several reports. I explain:

I have a web application in java using hibernate, and I have an xml file with the configuration of the database, path, passwords, and so on.....

My question is, can I use this file to get the DataSource for my 20th reports? Where I can see an exemple of this?

Thank's in advance.

Regards

You can create the datasource in a library. A single report can now import that library and use all objects that are part of that library.
If you want to change an object that is part of the library just manipulate that element once in the library. All reports will now use the manipulated one.

It is a bit outdated but essential part is still valid.
