项目中使用3.7.1的birt。
因为项目需要在birt中配置动态数据源，因此在网上搜索了一下动态数据源的配置方法，按网上的说明，在数据源的beforeopen事件中添加类似如下代码：
importPackage( Packages.java.io );
importPackage( Packages.java.util );
fin = new java.io.FileInputStream(new String("d:/config.txt"));
props = new java.util.Properties( );
props.load(fin);
extensionProperties.odaDriverClass = new String(props.getProperty("driver"));
extensionProperties.odaURL = new String(props.getProperty("url"));
extensionProperties.odaUser = new String(props.getProperty("username"));
extensionProperties.odaPassword = new String(props.getProperty("password"));
fin.close();
结果一跑，出错：

后来经过多次查询资料后，发现了一个另外的配置信息：
this.setExtensionProperty("odaURL", props.getProperty("url"));
this.setExtensionProperty("odaDriverClass", props.getProperty("driver"));
this.setExtensionProperty("odaUser", props.getProperty("userid"));
this.setExtensionProperty("odaPassword", props.getProperty("password"));
配置后，重新启动，无任何问题，报表生成成功。
