[birt-news] Getting dataType info

["Prateek Sharma" <prateek3.14@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
       Is there a way to extract the dataType information? I am
extracting content by implementing the Emitter extension point.

                <structure>
                    <property name="position">4</property>
                    <property name="name">QUANTITYINSTOCK</property>
                    <property name="nativeName">QUANTITYINSTOCK</property>
                    <property name="dataType">integer</property>
                    <property name="nativeDataType">4</property>
                </structure>

In this snippet, lets say i want to know that the type in integer.
However, IDataContent.getContentType() is returning 3 (DATA_CONTENT).

So how can i get the datatype information of cells in tables, data boxes, etc?

Thanks a lot in advance!
