New ODA Driver for POJO Objects (Demo Pack)

averma

POJO (Plain Old Java Objects) objects are commonly used along with infrastructure frameworks like Hibernate and Spring to create enterprise Java applications. Actuate Release 11 features a new POJO ODA driver which provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface to use POJO objects as data sources in BIRT. Report Developers no longer need to write custom Java code using the scripted data source to access POJO objects. The developer can create method-to-column mappings at design-time and the ODA driver will handle the data retrieval from a POJO object graph and map it to data set rows.<br />
<br />
The attached BIRT design retrieves data from a POJO data source and then displays a Customer List grouped by Country. The data is retrieved from the customerlist.jar file in the Resources folder. Refer to the design zip file for the design files, source code and the jar file. To set this up in your BRD Pro environment simply copy "Customer List.rptdesign" and "customerlist.jar" file to your report project and then run the report.<br />
