Bug 199751 getProperty(...) returns null
I created report with user property called "version". Later i need to access that property using BIRT Runtime. I access it using getProperty() method: Report: <list-property name="userProperties"> <structure> <property name="name">version</property> <property name="type">string</property> <property name="isVisible">true</property> </structure> </list-property> <property name="version">1.0</property> Accesing using BIRT Runtime: ReportRunnable reportDesign = engine.openReportDesign("Report.rptdesign"); String version = reportDesign.getProperty("version"); When there's a library linked to Report.rptdesign, version is null. When i remove the library from report design, getProperty() returns correct value.
model/org.eclipse.birt.report.model/src/org/eclipse/birt/report/model/util/ReportDesignSerializer.java
if ( targetProp == null )
				continue;
			if ( target.getLocalProperty( targetDesign, prop ) != null )
			{
				notEmptyProperties.add( propName );
				continue;
			}
			Object value = source.getLocalProperty( root, prop );
			
			if ( value == null )
				continue;
			switch ( targetProp.getTypeCode( ) )
			{
				case IPropertyType.LIST_TYPE :
					target.setProperty( targetProp, ModelUtil.copyValue(
							targetProp, value ) );
					break;
				case IPropertyType.STRUCT_TYPE :
					handleStructureValue( target, targetProp, value );
					break;
				default :
					target.setProperty( targetProp, ModelUtil.copyValue(
							targetProp, value ) );
			}
			notEmptyProperties.add( propName );
		}
	}
