My first BIRT report uses a scripted datasource.
I'm using birt ver 2.2
I've copied the .jar file to the scriptlib, under the Birtviewer plugin.
The .jar file contains all the XMLBeans with all of the getters and
setters.

Now I want to test the first section , by creating sample data.
Birt is unable to creat an Instance of a class in the .jar file

I get this error:
There are errors evaluating script
"importPackage(Packages.momentum.wealth.statement);

if(currentrow >= totalrows)
return false;

var statement = new Statement();

I does not seem like it's creating an instance of the class statement.

Please help

Thanks
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

I didn't had any problems integrating BIRT with JEE apps and using
scripted data sources to display tables. I used the session to communicate
between BIRT and the app or scriptable java objects added to the task in
the Report Engine.

Now back to your problem, I used the following example:
/*DisplayVo.java*/

package org.myPackage.vo;

public class DisplayVo implements java.io.Serializable{
private String firstString;

public DisplayVo()
{
firstString="";
}

public String getFirstString() {
return firstString;
}
public void setFirstString(String firstString) {
this.firstString = firstString;
}
}

compile the class and copy the binary in the proper location. Now the
rptdesign file is:

<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3" id="1">
<property name="createdBy">Eclipse BIRT Designer Version 2.0.1 Build
<20060222-1204></property>
<property name="units">in</property>
<method name="initialize"><![CDATA[var frame=new Packages.DisplayVo();

frame.setFirstString("aaaa");]]></method>
<page-setup>
<simple-master-page name="Simple MasterPage" id="2">
<page-footer>
<text id="3">
<property name="contentType">html</property>
<text-property name="content"><![CDATA[<value-of>new
Date()</value-of>]]></text-property>
</text>
</page-footer>
</simple-master-page>
</page-setup>
<body>
<data id="61">
<expression
name="valueExpr">this.valueExpr=frame.getFirstString();
this.valueExpr+="\n";

</expression>
</data>
<data id="34">
<expression name="valueExpr"></expression>
</data>
</body>
</report>

Thanks pretty much it.

Hope it helps,
Cristian
