Velu,
You should be able to use a connection profile to specify the hard
location. Each developer then could use his/her own profile. The
server could also use one as well.
Another option is to use an expression on the property binding for the
file name. The expression should be similar to this:
importPackage( Packages.java.io );
importPackage( Packages.javax.servlet.http );
if(
reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getAttribute("attributeBean ").isDesigner()
){
"C:\\xfer\\company.xml";
}else{
var rp =
reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getSession().getServle tContext().getRealPath( "/Report");
"file:///"+rp+"/company.xml";
}

Velu,
You are correct. you may want to log a bug for this. What I was trying
to show is that you could always build script to look for something like
the workspace folder etc and make it portable.

What was the problem? Somehow I do not see the original post/question? I
may have a solution to this, as I use relative paths in my BIRT
installation...
