Rendering Error: Unexpected element: :report

Ever seen the error "Unexpected element: :report" when trying to render a report in BI Publisher? This is due a a Bug/Feature where the "xmlns" attribute is not automatically inserted into the element in the xdo file for your report. To resolve the issue is quite simple.

1. Open the xdo file for you report in a text editor
2. Insert the following attribute into the element

xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xmlp"

The element should then look something like this:

<report version="1.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xmlp" defaultDataSourceRef="dev">
...
</report>
