BIRT Webservice ODA integration with JIRA [message #878835]

I have successfully connected to an instance of JIRA and can call the login function to get back a token. However, I tried using a report parameter to pass the token back in as a parameter to subsequent JIRA Soap methods. There seems to be no way to tie the token data set value to a report parameter. Maybe through scripting? Even if that works I am not sure that will ultimately work.

Is the custom connection class the way to go?

So my goal is to call the JIRA webservice method login, passing in a user and password. I can do this from BIRT and get a response in the form of a data set column value that includes the token returned from the service.

My goal is to take the token and use it in another SOAP based data source. So I tried to use dataset["tokenColumnValue"] as a parameter within the following SOAP request:

<in0 xsi:type="xsd:string">&?in0?&</in0>
<in1 xsi:type="xsd:string">&?in1?&</in1>
</m:getProjectByKey>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

The first parameter, in0, corresponds to the token JIRA expects. I tried to pass the dataset["tokenVolumnValue"] in for that parameter along with a default project key.

When the report runs the token is returned but it does not seem to be getting passed into the SOAP request.

So the investigation continues.

You could do this with a custom connection class. See this article:
http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/devshare/designing-birt-reports/461-birt-web-service-oda-article/

But another way would be to do it the way you are doing it but make sure
the second request is in a nested table. The outer table would be the
auth request and the inner one would be the second request and you would
bind the in0 parameter to the outer tables tokenVolumnValue.

Thanks Jason! I will give these suggestions a try.
