Hi,

The problem I have is related to Eclipse Report Design (I don't know if I placed the topic correctly, but at least I am a new comer on the forum).

I have set up a datasource to a web service that is returning an xml file. When creating a dataset, I can see a column that has the xpath blank and contains all xml. If I want to set up a column that will return a value from the nodes of the xml, i get empty data.

The dataset is:

table0#-TNAME-#table0#:#[/SOAP-ENV:Envelope/SOAP-ENV:Body/Ge tEmployeeSalaryResponse/GetEmployeeSalaryResult]#:#{GetEmplo yeeSalaryResult;STRING;},{test;STRING;/Object/Employee/Attri but[@Nom='Societe']},{test2;STRING;/Object}#:#< "SOAP-ENV","http:%%schemas.xmlsoap.org%soap%envelope%";"xsd ","http:%%www.w3.org%2001%XMLSchema";"m","http:%%tempuri.org% ";"SOAP-ENC","http:%%schemas.xmlsoap.org%soap%encoding%"; "xsi","http:%%www.w3.org%2001%XMLSchema-instance">

and only GetEmployeeSalaryResult is bringing data, the 2 other columns are blank: test and test2

The xml returned from the webservice is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Object xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Nom=
"GetEmployeeSalary">
<Employee>
<Attribut Nom="Societe">P5 RO</Attribut>
<Attribut Nom="Agence">Brasov</Attribut>
<Attribut Nom="Period">201001</Attribut>
<Attribut Nom="Devise">EUR</Attribut>
<Attribut Nom="WageBill">38.83</Attribut>
<Attribut Nom="GrossSalary">63.02</Attribut>
</Employee>
</Object>

If I create a new datasource with this xml, I can see the nodes with the information correctly, but I need to see it directly from the webservice and not save the output in a file and then create a new data source on it.

The xml of my report is:

<property name="dataSource">Data Source</property>
<list-property name="resultSet">
<structure>
<property name="position">1</property>
<property name="name">GetEmployeeSalaryResult</property>
<property name="nativeName">GetEmployeeSalaryResult</property>

</ex-property>
<ex-property>
<name>xsdFileURI</name>
</ex-property>
</list-property>
</oda-data-set>
</data-sets>

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks alot in advance!

This sounds like it might be related to BIRT; is that correct?
If so, you should ask in the BIRT group instead; I don't see many of the
BIRT gurus hanging out in this newcomers group.
