If you just want to push the data you could always add the object to the
appcontext from the RE API and then use a scripted datasource to iterate
over it. Or you could call the DE API from the RE API to add it
dynamically. I have a attached a scripted data source example that uses
the initialize event to load up a map that is then used in the scripted
data source. In your case you would load up the map in the RE API
program and set it in the appcontext like:
task.getAppContext().put( "mymap", loadedmapobject );
Then in the scripted data set open event you could get this object by
using the following:
reportContext.getAppContext().get("mymap");
The only draw back from this approach is that it will only work at run
time unless you implement the appcontext extension point for the designer.
