[JAVA-BIRT] eclipse birt 網站一覽所獲

下班時間再跑到網站上逛了一下，總結幾點:

1、BIRT 1.0.1 項目計劃
      birt 1.0正式發布后，開發人員將繼續處理一些bug以及完善一些功能。
      計劃在2005  7月25日發布新版本 BIRT 1.0.1 
       而BIRT 1.0.1 M1版本 (Including RCP version)  將在 2005   7月11日,
      界時 1.0.1 將包含
    Source code release for Eclipse BIRT
    Eclipse BIRT Report Designer 1.0.1
    Eclipse BIRT Report Engine 1.0.1
    Eclipse BIRT Chart Component 1.0.1
    Eclipse BIRT RCP Report Designer 1.0.1
    真不明白，還沒有關于EXCEL支持的通知

2、1.0.1版本將計劃在以下平臺中測試驗證，（另我希望能在其它平臺下也能正常運行,例如rh低版本的，以及weblogic等: ) ）

Q: What is a "data source" and a "data set"?

• Data Set – is a description of data to be retrieved. SQL queries are the ones most often used, but BIRT also supports a wide variety of sources such as stored procedures, Java classes and so on.

           (筆者注：官方說支持存儲過程以及java類等，但對這方面的說明還是太少，暫時還沒找到相關）

• Data Source – is a connection to an external system, such as a JDBC connection. Data sources are optional, some data sets, such as XML or CSV files, don't need a connection.
  

Q: Can I build my own data set?

Yes. The only requirement is that your data set return data in tabular format so that BIRT can perform sorting, aggregation, grouping and so on. There are two ways to build a data set:

• Scripted data set – Best for data sets that are used by one specific report. (For example, to access a specific set of application objects.)
• Extended data set – Created using BIRT's Open Data Access (ODA) framework. Extended data sets are best when creating a generic feature used access a type of data source. (For example, to access web logs.)

 (筆者注：通過兩種方式 創建data set，包括script data set ，  BIRT's Open Data Access (ODA) framework）

Q: What data sources does BIRT support?

BIRT Release 1 supports two data sources:

• JDBC – Works with any JDBC driver.
• Scripted – Lets you write code to access other data sources.

太多了。感覺這個faq最能觸動我去了解學習它
