Hello,

i use Eclipse 3.2, Birt 2.1, JBoss 4.0.2, Report Engine Api 2.1.
I am using the Report Engine API to generate the report within my
jboss-webapplication. So far so good. All works fine with a jdbc connection.

Now i want to change the datasource from jdbc to jndi.
This works fine, when i use the same user and password for the jdbc
source and jndi source.

My foo-ds.xml file looks like this:

..............
<no-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>cro24.xtrial.ds.foo.read-only</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:postgresql://localhost/foo</connection-url>
<driver-class>org.postgresql.Driver</driver-class>
<user-name>foo_user</user-name>
<password>foo_pw</password>
<min-pool-size>5</min-pool-size>
<max-pool-size>10</max-pool-size>
<idle-timeout-minutes>5</idle-timeout-minutes>
<!--<track-statements>true</track-statements>-->
</no-tx-datasource>
............

My birt-xml-file looks like this:

............
<data-sources>
<oda-data-source extensionID="org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc"
name="Data Source" id="39">
<text-property name="displayName">Data Source</text-property>
<property name="odaDriverClass">org.postgresql.Driver</property>
<property name="odaURL">jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/foo</property>
<property name="odaUser">foo-foo</property>
<encrypted-property name="odaPassword">ZXRtc191c2VyXzAx</encrypted-property>
<property name="odaJndiName">java:cro24.xtrial.ds.tabulator</property >
</oda-data-source>
</data-sources>
...........


All works fine, while the username and password of jdbc connection and
jndi is the same.
When i change the jdbc-connection to an not existing user (e.g. foo-foo)
then, i get a error:


INFO: getJndiDSConnection: Unable to get JNDI data source connection;
org.jboss.util.NestedSQLException: Could not create connection; - nested

FINE: SQL Exception #1

f??r Benutzer ??foo-foo?? fehlgeschlagen


When i change the host to an nonexisting host (in my birt-xml-file),
birt gets the correct host from the foo-ds.xml file.
Why does birt not read the username and password also from foo-ds.xml?
Is this a Bug?

It's up to your JNDI resource factory (jboss) to determine how and when it uses
its own configuration, e.g. your foo-ds.xml . In other words, BIRT never reads
a JNDI resource configuration directly.

To control the value of the BIRT jdbc username and password used at runtime...
the recommended way is to bind the username/password property to a report
parameter. This way, the username and password used at design-time can be
different from those used at runtime when deployed in a web application.

Exposing the username and password via report parameters is unacceptable
and dangerous security risk.

It appears that BIRT has a bug in that even though JBoss is loading the
JNDI resource, the BIRT report engine is not querying for the configured
JNDI configuration each time a report is executed. I've logged a defect
requesting this behavior:

i fully agree to you!

Good luck with the bugzilla entry.
i tried this twice. My bugs were closed (set to invalid). Your bug will
be closed too.

I dont really know, why the jndi configuration is mixed up with the
jdbc configuration. This is a bug (in my view).

more information is here:
