Re: [birt-report-designer-dev] Externalize Scripted Data Sets

In my opinion, yes it is possible. There are several ways of externalizing scripted data. The way that I did was just creating a library using the Java objects and that Java objects can accept a parameter and then passed to the report. Since the report are the same, I also created a report template that uses the Java objects just for data sets. If I change the Java Objects, I don't need to change the report script because it references to the Java object. I know it's kind of a high level but that's what I did. You may start exploring the scripted data sets using Java.

This is just my opinion.

Hello,

is it possible to externalize scripted data sets, so they can be used by multiple reports?

I have several reports, which are meant to show the same data, but in a different way and I want to avoid copy&paste (to reduce maintenance efforts).

Sebastian
