Nested tables using Pojo ODA DS

<p>I have a need to create a report with nested tables (3 deep). The information for the nested tables maps to the data in an underlying pojo object like lists inside of lists. I know it would be possible to create the report dynamically using the design API, but I'd like to design the report using the designer to take advantage of it's obvious power.</p><p> </p><p>Is it possible to accomplish this using a pojo object without scripting? Maybe using events?</p><p> </p><p>Is it possible to design the report w/o data sources or sets and reference it via the report engine and dynamically insert the detail rows / data?</p><p> </p><p>All help is welcome!</p><p>F</p>

<p>I didn't find a solution to my question above. I think I may have been approaching the problem/solution from the wrong direction...</p><p> </p><p>I did find a <em>workaround</em>...  I took the nested data and flattened it out in the pojo. So, instead of having the hierarchy of data, I have a single pojo with lots of attributes. BIRT handles that by means of groups.</p><p> </p><p>I hope this may help the next person attempting something similar.</p><p>F</p>
