We need to build a BIRT report using report designer tool wherein the
dataset column names (i.e. associated layout column header names) are
determined based on user input
Ex:
1. Lets say there exists a table T with each row representing column names
C1, C2, C3 etc against a user id u1.
2. Column C1, C2, C3 are not fixed, the names may changes for user u2 to
say C3, C4, C5, C6
3. When this user u1 clicks on a report, it should generate an output with
following header: C1, C2, C3 and then each row representing values for
these columns
Queries
-------
1. I think use of report engine API could be a possible approach for this.
I don't know if these API can also help in sticking to same look and feel
(css) used in report designer.
2. Can this be achieved using BIRT report designer tool and if so how do
we do this. I could not find any pointer.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rupesh,
There are a couple of example below that may help.
Dynamic Content Creation in BIRT - This example uses parameters with a
report design and lets you pass in the columns needed for the report

Create report dynamically - This example uses the DEAPI and does
everything in Java code.
