Hi
We are planning to use BIRT bundled along with our Application that runs on
a J2EE server.
The reports will be integrated along with the application. I need to know
how to pass the authorization
and authentication information (login info into birt so that I can restrict
the data based on the user login).
Regards
Dwarakanath

Dwarakanath,
You can call out to Java from BIRT. From the FAQ
Is it possible getting database's information from a DataSource? object with
the API?
Gary Xue
The best way to achieve this is to edit the beforeOpen script of the data
source object to set the runtime information of the data source. To do this,
right click on your JDBC data source and select "Edit Code". In the method
dropdown list, select "beforeOpen". In the code editor, write a script like
this:
extensionProperties.odaUser = "sesame";
extensionProperties.odaPassword = "open";
extensionProperties.odaURL = "jdbc:my_data_source:....";
extensionProperties.odaDriverClass = "com.mycompany.jdbc.Driver";
Another way that 2.0 RC gives you is by using the Property Binding selection
in the Edit Data Source Wizard. You could set the User Name to a
parameter.This would require no code.Jason"Dwarakanath"
