Using custom Java-based data source connections
To connect BIRT designs to JDBC data sources, place the .jar files for the custom database driver in:
AC_SERVER_HOME\Jar\birt\platform\plugins\ org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc<version>\drivers
The iHub Integration service also looks in this location for drivers to access JDBC data sources.
