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.
