Hi All,

I'd like to forge ahead and see if I can make a custom (non-jdbc) oda
data source. Is odaconfig.xml documented anywhere? Is the source for
oda.jar and oda-jdbc.jar available anywhere? Has anyone tried this and
does anyone have any useful information to share?

Steve,

All source is available within Eclipse CVS. The ODA stuff is documented in
the JavaDoc for ODA itself. It is in:

source/org.eclipse.birt.data/src/org/eclipse/birt/data/oda

Please let us know what you learn about how to do this.

Thanks,

- Paul

Steve,

>> Is odaconfig.xml documented anywhere?

A copy of the ODA configuration's XML schema definition (ODAConfig.xsd) and
related annotations can be found in BIRT's Eclipse CVS, under the
source/org.eclipse.birt.data/schema folder.
The JDBC ODA driver's odaconfig.xml is a fairly good example of the main
configurable options.

>> Is the source for oda.jar and oda-jdbc.jar available anywhere?

The source for oda.jar is under
source/org.eclipse.birt.data/src/org/eclipse/birt/data/oda.
The source for oda-jdbc.jar is under
source/org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc/src/ .

The ODA runtime plugin schema is defined in
source/org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui/schema/oda.exsd .
For the ODA runtime interfaces specification, please see the extensive
Javadoc comments associated with the oda.jar source. We will soon provide
pre generated Javadoc files; in the meantime, one can be easily generated
from the source.

For implementing an ODA designer tool plugin, please see its plugin schema
in
source/org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui/schema/datasource .exsd . Use
the Eclipse PDE Tools to see its Reference Document.

The JDBC ODA Designer plugin (org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.ui) and
runtime plugin (org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc) are an example
included in BIRT for implementing an ODA data source.

We will be able provide more documentation over time. Your feedback based
on your experience would be much appreciated.
