Hi Mark,
Chapter 24 in the following document has information on data object api that you can use to programmatically generate data objects.

Thanks for the quick reply, here's my problem, my development environment is on win 32 xp, iServer is installed on a Linux box. I do not have iServer locally, I have no problems getting the jar files to my local machine for import, however I am wondering about Step 5 that states:

5 Add a BIRT_HOME static variable to the class. For the default installation of
iServer on a 32-bit Windows system, use the following line in the body of the
GenerateDataObject class body:
private static final String BIRT_HOME =
"C:/Program Files/Actuate11/iServer/Jar/BIRT/platform";

Do I need to somehow map a drive to the linux box and set the BIRT_HOME path to that? Or can I possibly copy that platform folder to my local machine & set the path to that?

Thanks again for the Help
Mark (newbie to BIRT)

You can copy the folder to your local machine and use that in your project.
