create a rptdesign from scratch via Design API? - example?

mimocx

<p>Hello,</p><p> </p><p>I'm new to the BIRT API!</p><p>I want to handle the following workflow</p><p>- generate a rptdesign (including the resulting xml file) based on a generic internal data structure</p><p>- generate with pure Design API without any initial template rptdesign</p><p>- later on customize the rptdesign with the eclipse birt designer</p><p> </p><p>I couldn't find any example to do the first part: generate a rptdesign from scratch only with the Design API.</p><p>I need to add a data source, data set and for example a table displaying the data from the data set.</p><p> </p><p>Can you please point me to an example for that?</p><p>Thanks</p><p>Michael</p>

<p>Take a look at <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://wiki.eclipse.org/Java_-_Simple_Design_Engine_API_(BIRT)'>this page</a>, it'll show you how to create a design from the API's, I'll see if I can't dig up some devshares for you too.</p>
