Is there any way to hide the XML source from the user? Currently if I am running Birt on a server I am able to enter the path of the report example "//localhost:8080/birt-viewer/report/fleet_vendor_report.rptdesign" and it will display the XML source. The datasource and Query is displayed in the XML so this is a security risk at my company. Is there any way to hide the XML or (datasource and dataset) information from being viewed?

GOOD CATCH!

I find no other way currently than just protect that URL with your
Access Manager. Your company should have an Access Manager!

I keep my reports in a separate WAR, say a "program", and in it's
WEB-INF/reports folder.

I pass the parameter to BIRT-viewer as
.../program/WEB-INF/report.rptdesign (I have set the security in birt
web.xml so that reports can be in any folder).

I can't get the XML with browser, it just can't find it.
