<div>Hi,</div><div> </div><div>I am trying to design a report that gets JSON data from a RESTful resource. As far as I understood natively this option isn't available and I have to rely on external classes. I came across <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14228131/how-can-i-import-json-data-from-a-rest-api-into-bir'>this suggestion</a>. I built the necessary jars (basic and dependencies), created a scripted datasource modified the open script then a dataset with fetch script but I cannot get it to work no matter what. All of the time I get the following error:</div><div><pre class="_prettyXprint">...................A BIRT exception occurred.

(I am banging my head for a couple of days now.....)</div><div> </div><div>Thanks in advance</div>
