Hi,
can I use external Scripts in BIRT?
Currently I have created several Reports using mostly similar code. For better Maintenance I would like to externalize these scripts.

For example I am creating the SQL for my Data Sets with a script in the beforeOpen method using my parameters.
Now I want to take this script and save it under "sqlCreation.js" in a Folder "scripts" nearby the report. How can I now access this Script?

Thanks in advance!

If you put your .js files in the resource folder and then add them to
the report this is possible. Look at the resources tab in the
properties editor when the root report is selected. There is an option
to use a .js file.

Thank you!
The next step is assigning this JS file to a report Item. How can I do that?
I only found the Event Handler Item (which is just for Java classes I guess?)

You can call any function you define in the .js file from script, but
the call has to be placed in the event script tab. One option is to
build a template that has all the calls already in it and then use these
to start your development.
