read from an xml data source problem [message #168286]

hi
i have a problem reading data from an xml file which is over the net on a remote machine(example: http://10clicksurveys.com/FILES/test.xml).
i was wondering if BIRT allows to read from a URL that is not local. if it does why am i getting an error that it cant be retrieved.
what i do is when i make a new data source i choose xml as a data source type and then it asks for the url. after that when i try to make a new data set it asks for an url again and when i enter the above url and click on next, it gives me an error that it cant rerieve data.
here is the detail of the error:
An unexpected internal exception occurred.Please see log for detail.
Plug-in Provider:Eclipse.org
Plug-in Name:BIRT Designer UI
Plug-in ID:org.eclipse.birt.report.designer.ui
Version:2.0.1
Error Code:Error.GUIException.invokedByUnexpectedException
Error Message:XML data source cannot be retrieved.XML data source file is invalid or the file doesn't exist.

Can you try any of the 2.1RC builds. This issue should have been resolved.

hi there
thanx for your help, but...
i tried to install the RC4 build but it wont allow me since im using the eclipse 1.0.2 it requires eclipse 1.2. currently im using BIRT Release Build 2.0.1 is this no good?!. i was wondering if anyone else has the same problem!!
as i stated before my problem is accessing the data source which is an xml file on a remote machine.
what we're trying to do here is to have an spring application generete an xml url and then use the same url in our report as the data base.
do i need to have the report viewer installed before i can do this?(im new to this application and im in desperate need for help)
thanx a million

Sina,
For reference your issue is the same as this bugzilla entry
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=124989
This was fixed after 2.0.1 was released.
regards,
