Hi all -
I am using XML ODA driver in my BIRT Report designs for some financial
Reports.
I have chosen XML driver to accommodate storing historical report data
in xml format, instead of building a relational database schema
based on Report numbers/calculations.
Our product is in QA now, and we are finding that some of the data in
the report is not displayed. This is happening randomly about once every 5
times on an average.
We are seeing this behaviour(missing/blank report data) more frequently
in HTML than in PDF format.
I have also tried using the latest version (BIRT 2.1 M2), but still
having the same issues.
Are there any best practices for BIRT XML report mapping, that I can
follow in my report designs(using XML Driver).
Is this a known issue in BIRT XML driver?
I know XML driver is a new Feature in BIRT. Did any of you have
successfully implemented BIRT Reports using XML datasource in your
projects.
Thanks,
-Rana.

Hello Rana,
I had a similiar problem - data of one field was truncated, and when I put a
shorter text into another field (in the xml data file), the former truncated
became longer by the same number of characters. This is really a weird
behavior but I got a hint from another user for a workaround: Add an XML
element (arbitrary name, empty contents) right before the truncated field -
the truncation seems to be shifted to the unnecessary empty element. In my
case, I only had to do it once, but if you see the problem in more than one
field you probably have to repeat the trick. By the way, I could not see a
difference in HTML / PDF output.
I had a performance problem with my XML data source (I reported a bug to the
BIRT bugzilla yesterday), so I now use a scripted datasource together with
JDom to read the XML file - the perfromance is better and the field
truncation is no issue anymore.
Hope this helps,
Marc
