Hello,
we used to have a servlet, which gets query parameters and deliver an xml
stream. First i tried to use a XML datasource, but I found no way to pass
the parameters to the datasource at runtime, because i have to define a
fixed datasource url.
Is there a way to modify the xml destination, before it will be called?
That would allow me to add the parameters as a querystring.
If this is not possible, is it the right way to use a scripted datasource,
parse the xml document into pojos and map the pojo attributes to dataset
attributes? That's from my perspective not really clever, because you have
to code many lines for each report.
Do you have any other ideas? Sadly the chapter 'XML- Datasource' is really
short in the 'field guide' or the 'integration & extending'.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Greetings Jens

Jens,
You should be able to change the xml url in property binding of the data
source or through the beforeOpen script like:
this.setExtensionProperty("FILELIST", "file:///c:/temp/xmltest2.xml");
