Build DataSource from code - without external resources? [message #759066]

I would like to build a datasource from code that does not have any
reference to any external resources on the filesystem, eg. flatfile,
xmlfile, database etc.

As an example a xml datasource can be build like this:

OdaDataSourceHandle dataSourceHandle =
elementFactory.newOdaDataSource(dataSourceName,
org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.xml");
dataSourceHandle.setProperty("FILELIST", dataSourceFile);

But how do I build a datasource as a pojo without any reference to external
resources? I have tried:

ElementFactory elementFactory = report.getElementFactory();
OdaDataSourceHandle dataSourceHandle =
elementFactory.newOdaDataSource(dataSourceName);

but how do I populate it with some content that I can next connect a dataset
to? Maybe there are some examples showing how this can be done?

Are you wanting to create a scripted datasource?
Take a look at the attached example.
