Indeed, the code for this is completely wrong, and it only shows how poor
was owr knowledge of XWiki was two years ago.

The right behavior would be to have parameters for ClassName (the name of
the type of the XWiki objects to use), the property name (the property that
should be used as a data source), and the optiona document name and object
number selection (range or set). Then, the datasource would extract from the
[selected] objects the property and construct a proper data set. If you can
write this and submit a patch, you would be of great help, as we are all
busy with the 1.0 release.

Thank you,
Sergiu
