RE: OdaDataSetHandle ref forexisting.rptdesign template

Doh. I guess it was a long day! Grrrr I never spotted that. Thanks :-)


Any BIRT API change we make sure we do take care of the backward
compatibility issue. For your code, I think maybe you should write:

DataSetHandle dso = report.findDataSet('TestSet')
The OdaDataSetHandle cannot be casted to a  DataSourceHandle.

EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig();
config.setBIRTHome("birt-runtime-2_2_2/ReportEngine");
Platform.startup(config);        
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory)
Platform.createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGIN
E_FACTORY)
IReportEngine engine = factory.createReportEngine(config)
IReportRunnable design = engine.openReportDesign('reports/myreport.rptdesign')      
ReportDesignHandle report = (ReportDesignHandle) design.getDesignHandle();
DataSourceHandle dso = report.findDataSet('TestSet') // your suggestion

this gives:

Unexpected exception: Cannot cast object
