[news.eclipse.birt] Re: Access data in data set by BIRT API

[John Ward <johnw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only way to really do this is to Run the report using a Run task and 
create a report document, then use a DataExtractionTask to pull the data.

I have an example of doing that in the getValueMap method in this article:

You can also see an example on the Eclipse Wiki for BIRT at:
