If I have a CSV/XML data source, can I define it the path to that file at
run time?

If so, how?

Thanks

Soultion:

Cheat a little.

Read the xxxx.rptdesign file from the the classpath,
replace the XML code that says...

<property name="HOME">c:\\TEMP</property>

with

<property name="HOME">c:\\MY_NEW_PATH</property>

Then pass it into the engine like this...

IReportRunnable design =
engine.openReportDesign(designFileInputStreamThatIveHackedIn to);

You can use either Property Binding or Scripting to define a runtime path.
Search this newsgroup for examples; there has been numerous posts on this
topic.
