Creating data object data cubes for BIRT report designs

To create a data object data cube, use the newDataMartDataCube( ) method from ElementFactory. For example, to instantiate a new data cube, use the following code:

DataMartDataCubeHandle dataCube =
factory.newDataMartDataCube("Data Cube");

Associate the data object data cube with a DataMartDataSourceHandle object and assign a data cube from the data or data design file. For example, to access a data cube called "CubeName", use the following code:

dataCube.setDataSource( dataSource.getName( ) );

dataCube.setDataObject("CubeName");

Finally, add the data element to the report design, as shown in the following code:

designHandle.getDataCubes( ).add( dataCube );
