Multiple properties files for one report [message #253277] Wed, 22 August 2007 13:01 Go to next message

Hi,

Does anyone know if we can associate multiple properties file with one
report design? Or if we can use resource bundles?

Payal,

If your properties files are locale specific you should be able to just
add the basic property file in the general properties of the report and
then copy all locale specific properties to the resource folder. In the
designer the resource folder is a preference window->preference->Report
Design->Resource.

Jason,

I was looking to associate one report design with multiple properties file
in the same locale. For example, one report may contain a table which
contains information from a product A and a chart containing information
from product B. If I wanted to associate the table headers with A.properties
(A_fr.properties, A_ch.properties etc) and the chart titles with
B.properties (B_fr.properties, B_ch.properties), how would I be able to do
that?
What I see in BIRT, is that it lets you associate one properties file with
each report design. So I would have to combine A.properties and B.properties
in one properties file.

Thanks,
Payal

Payal,

You are correct. File a bugzilla entry to change this behavior.
Specify that this would be an enhancement.
