Body
The process for doing this is described at <a href="http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/?app=blog&blogid=45&showentry=471" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/?app=blog&blogid=45&showentry=471</a>, but it turns out that there are a few important steps missing. I'll fill in a few blanks here. The original instructions describe creating a Scripted Data Source, with an "open" script that makes use of the <code>com.actuate.json.JSONParser</code> class. First, it is important to realise that this class is not part of BIRT, and needs to be manually added (along with any dependencies). The download provided by the original instructions provides the <code>com.actuate.json.JSONParser</code> class, but leaves it up to you to source the dependencies. To make things easier I have reimplemented the JSONParser library in Maven, which will then download and package the dependencies for you. It also includes some bug fixes and enhancements like GZIP compression support. You can get the Maven project from <a href="https://github.com/mcasperson/birt-jsonparser" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/mcasperson/birt-jsonparser</a>, and to build the <code>JSONParser</code> library and package the dependencies, run the command <pre><code>mvn clean package dependency:copy-dependencies </code></pre> This will result in the birt-jsonparser-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar file being created in the target directory, and all the dependencies copied into the target\dependency directory. Copy all of these JAR files into the {BIRT_INSTALL}/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_{BIRT_VIEWER_VERSION}/birt/scriptlib directory to allow the <code>JSONParser</code> class to be accessed from within your BIRT report. If you want to debug your report, these JAR files will also have to be referenced in the Debug profile. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/d1WjM.png" alt="enter image description here">

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
