90% sure this is BIRT bug... [message #468245]

Create a library and create a report parameter and set type to
DateTime...use this parameter in one of your reports, create a custom
engine and call into the report to ask for the parameters which it returns
and then ask for the type of parameter and it returns 1 instead of
4(DateTime type)...ie. it is not a DateTime according to the engine then.

workaround: don't use the library though it was nice to share report
parameters between reports :(.

version 2.3.2r232

oh, this behavior looks like it is because of a bug where BIRT does not
throw an Exception when it cannot find the library report file. BIRT
should
throw an exception if it can't find the library file AND BIRT should be
putting
relative paths from the report to the library like it does with subreports
but
since it doesn't, this was failing as it used a relative path from my
eclipse root which when deployed that path does not even exist.

I ran into the JDBC from the library not being found it and it used some
default BIRT driver which was confusing...I had no idea why it was using a
default and looking at the xml source stumbled into this to figure it out.
