To create a custom encryption plug‑in, you need to extend the following extension point:
org.eclipse.birt.report.model.encryptionHelper
The interface IEncryptionHelper defines two methods, as shown in the following code:
publicinterface IEncryptionHelper
{
public String encrypt( String string );
public String decrypt( String string );
}
You need to implement these methods and program your encryption and decryption logic there.
To install the custom encryption plug‑in, copy the plug‑in to the product’s plugins folder, where the default plug‑in resides. Change the isDefault property in plugin.xml to true. Change the isDefault properties of the rest of the encryption plug‑ins to false.
