XML source problem BIRT 2.1.0 --> BIRT 2.2 [message #204062] Thu, 30 November 2006 15:14 Go to next message

First some initial explanations:

I am working on 2 Eclipse3.2 installations. One with BIRT 2.1.0 (my
working installation), the other with BIRT 2.2M1 (waiting eagerly for
radar charts, if they are added early enough I can talk about them in my
diploma thesis).

I created a report with BIRT 2.1 using an XML data source. Everything
worked fine. When I accessed the same workspace with my BIRT 2.2
installation and tried to preview the report there was an error. He
couldn't access the data source.

So i closed it, reopened it with BIRT 2.1 - strange enough, it was opened
in the source tab - and when I tried to open the layout view, the message
popped up: "Errors in XML source page must be corrected before other pages
can be used". How did he change the design file when I didn't do anything
than previewing it and as I can't see any changes or errors in the file,
why can't he open it anymore?

Second problem: In BIRT 2.2 I cannot use XML data sources. "XML Data
Source" doesn't show up in the "New Data Source" dialog. Do I have to add
an additional plugin to the BIRT 2.2M1 framework download?

Ok, I now know why the report couldn't be opened by the older BIRT
version.
There IS one change in the file - the namespace.
<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.2"
id="1">
has been changed to
<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.7"
id="1">

The report can be opened again when the number is changed in the file.

Can somebody tell my why the new BIRT version has this new namespace?
I'm new to that topic and I don't know why this should be important.
Are there any considerable changes from 3.2.2 to 3.2.7?
What do this versions mean?
